Quote by Simone Weil
Force is as pitiless to the man who possesses it, or thinks he doe

Force is as pitiless to the man who possesses it, or thinks he does, as it is to its victims the second it crushes, the first it intoxicates. The truth is, nobody really possesses it. – Simone Weil

Other quotes by Simone Weil

When a mans life is destroyed or damaged by some wound or privation of soul or body, which is due to other mens actions or negligence, it is not only his sensibility that suffers but also his aspiration toward the good. Therefore there has been sacrilege towards that which is sacred in him. – Simone Weil

We all went to Kelseys wedding, and yeah, we go to parties. We also go to each others house. A group of us got together over at Kelseys and just read through some plays just for the fun of it. That may not be everyones idea of a good time, but we had a good time. – David Hyde Pierce

When the waves are round me breaking,
As I pace the deck alone,
And my eye in vain is seeking
Some green leaf to rest upon;
What would not I give to wander
Where my old companions dwell?
Absence makes the heart grow fonder,
Isle of Beauty, fare thee well! – John Milton
