“This does not mean that one should consent to failure, but rather one must consent to struggle against it without respite.”

Simone de Beauvoir book The Ethics of Ambiguity

Conclusion
The Ethics of Ambiguity (1947)

This does not mean that one should consent to failure, but rather one must consent to struggle against it without respite.
