Simone de Beauvoir(1908-1986)

Shares her gravesite with philosopher and lover Jean-Paul Sartre, who died six years before she did; interred at Cimetière de Montparnasse in Paris, France.

It is old age, rather than death, that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is life's parody, whereas death transforms life into a destiny: in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. Death does away with time.
