A post on Writer Write shares 7 writing quotes from Simone de Beauvoir, including:
“The writer of originality, unless dead, is always shocking, scandalous; novelty disturbs and repels.” – from The Second Sex
“I willingly trust myself to chance. I let my thoughts wander, I digress, not only sitting at my work, but all day long, all night even. It often happens that a sentence suddenly runs through my head before I go to bed, or when I am unable to sleep, and I get up again and write it down.” – from Force of Circumstance
“Writing… is a profession that can only be learned by writing.” – from The Prime of Life
