Simone Weil

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

Every perfect life is a parable invented by God.

All sins are attempts to fill voids.

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

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.

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.
