From page 316 of the book: My reactions to his calm were contradictory and confusing. What was he going to do? While I resumed my pacing along the top of the unstable wall, I originally took the sophisticated track, bringing up a passage from Simone de Beauvoir, whose writings I recently consumed. She felt fidelity was reserved for those who needed to bestow mutilation upon themselves. She explained, during the 1950s, how men and women were beginning to conclude much the same as she and Sartre did; that is, maintaining some degree of fidelity while embarking on individual deviations.
