Charity. To love human beings in so far as they are nothing. That is to love them as God does. – Simone Weil
A man whose mind feels that it is captive would prefer to blind himself to the fact. But if he hates falsehood, he will not do so; and in that case he will have to suffer a lot. He will beat his head against the wall until he faints. He will come to again – Simone Weil
