Simone Weil

When a contradiction is impossible to resolve except by a lie, then we know that it is really a door.

All sins are attempts to fill voids.

Every perfect life is a parable invented by God.

There's never been anything I didn't love that I didn't connect with on a personal level because, to some degree, I projected upon it.

There is no sin coveting things are of no great use or profit, but would show out good and have some grandeur around them.

It is because nations tend towards stupidity and baseness that mankind moves so slowly; it is because individuals have a capacity for better things that it moves at all.
