“Life has value as long as you give value to the lives of others.”
— Simone de Beauvoir
From 'The Coming of Age' (La Vieillesse), 1970. Beauvoir wrote this examining how society treats the elderly, turning the lens onto what makes any life count.
My richest moments came not from fame, but from deep friendships and standing up for those without voice. Your life gains meaning when you open your heart to others. Love fiercely, care deeply.
