Simone de Beauvoir (a capricorn author and philosopher in feminism and ethics):
- "One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, indignation and compassion"
- "I tore myself away from the safe comfort of certainties through my love for truth - and truth rewarded me."
-"If any man had proved sufficiently self-centred and commonplace to attempt any subjugation, I should have judged him, found him wanting and left him. The only sort of person in whose favour I could ever wish to surrender my autonomy would be just the one who did his utmost to prevent any such thing."
