Simone de Beauvoir. The second floor (№ 278351)

The essence of man consists of his actions, it is the result during elections in a life, his ability to implement his "project" - it's preset goals and the means to "transcendence" - the construction of purposes and meanings. And the driving force of his actions - the will, the desire for freedom. These driving forces are stronger than all the laws, moral rules and prejudices.
