Charity. To love human beings in so far as they are nothing. That is to love them as God does. – Simone Weil
Imagination and fiction make up more than three-quarters of our real life. – 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
