Quote by Simone de Beauvoir

All oppression creates a state of war.

All oppression creates a state of war.

Summary

This quote suggests that any form of oppression, whether it is political, social, or economic, inevitably leads to a state of conflict and opposition. When one group is systematically oppressed and denied basic rights and freedoms, tensions rise and individuals feel compelled to fight for their liberation and equality, resulting in a state of war - not necessarily in the literal sense, but in terms of conflict and struggle. The quote highlights the inherent instability and injustice of oppressive systems and serves as a reminder of the need for justice, equality, and a peaceful resolution of grievances.

I wake up in the morning and I see that flower, with the dew on its petals, and at the way it's folding out, and it makes me happy, she said. It's important to focus on the things in the here and now, I think. In a month, the flower will be shriveled and you will miss its beauty if you don't make the effort to do it now. Your life, eventually, is the same way.
