Quote by Criss Jami
To me it seems that too many young women of this time share the same creed. 'Live, laugh, love, be nothing but happy, experience everything, et cetera et cetera.' How monotonous, how useless this becomes. What about the honors of Joan of Arc, Beauvoir, Stowe, Xena, Princess Leia, or women that would truly fight for something other than just their own emotions?
Summary
The quote expresses the speaker's frustration with the prevailing mentality among many young women today. They criticize the obsession with living a carefree and pleasurable life, encouraging constant happiness and the pursuit of endless experiences. The speaker believes that this mindset is boring and pointless, as it lacks the depth and purpose seen in iconic female figures like Joan of Arc, Simone de Beauvoir, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Xena, and Princess Leia – women who strove for noble causes and fought for more substantial things beyond their personal emotions.
