“If the feminine issue is so absurd, is because the male's arrogance made it "a discussion”

“One is not born a genius, one becomes a genius; and the feminine situation has up to the present rendered this becoming practically impossible.”

“No one is more arrogant toward women, more aggressive or scornful, than the man who is anxious about his virility.”

“Nul n'est plus arrogant à l'égard des femmes, agressif ou dédaigneux, qu'un homme inquiet de sa virilité.”

“There is only one solution if old age is not to be an absurd parody of our former life, and that is to go on pursuing ends that give our existence a meaning.”

“Man is defined as a human being and a woman as a female — whenever she behaves as a human being she is said to imitate the male.”

“La fécondité absurde de la femme l'empêchait de participer activement à l'accroissement de ces ressources tandis qu'elle créait indéfiniment de nouveaux besoins.”
