London, Apr 13 (Reuters) Following is a notable quote from history.

''It is not in giving but in risking life that man is raised above the animal; that is why superiority has been accorded in humanity not to the sex that brings forth, but to that which kills.'' -- Simone de Beauvoir in ''The Second Sex'' (1949). On April 14, 1986, de Beauvoir, the French writer whose ''The Second Sex'' was an early inspiration to the feminist movement, died.
