Y sin duda es más cómodo sufrir la esclavitud ciega que trabajar por la liberación: los muertos también están mejor adaptados a la tierra que los vivos.
Simone de BeauvoirI went to get a detective story. You have to kill time. But time will kill me too - and there´s the true, preestablished balance.
Simone de BeauvoirBut I must admit I didn´t like that idea; do the same thing as everyone else. Eating to live, living to eat - that had been the nightmare of my adolescence.
