​“You hide the truth from yourself, and when it is forced upon you you either collapse or else you explode. You’re free to do so. But only if you can take it when you lose. And you can’t take it. You always try to get out of paying; you fly into a rage, you accuse other people right and left—anything at all not to own yourself in the wrong.”

Simone de Beauvoir, from “The Woman Destroyed,” published c. 1967
