Text Quotes
It may be that vice, depravity, and crime are nearly always, or even perhaps always, in their essence, attempts to eat beauty, to eat what we should only look at (Simone Weil Quotes)
The whole of our civilization is founded on specialization, which implies the enslavement of those who execute to those who coordinate (Simone Weil Quotes)
The speed with which bureaucracy has invaded almost every branch of human activity is something astounding once one thinks about it (Simone Weil Quotes)
The contradictions the mind comes up against, these are the only realities, the criterion of the real. There is no contradiction in what is imaginary. Contradiction is the test of necessity (Simone Weil Quotes)

Academic work is one of those fields which contain a pearl so precious that it is worth while to sell all our possessions, keeping nothing for ourselves, in order to be able to acquire it (Simone Weil Quotes)
In this world we live in a mixture of time and eternity. Hell would be pure time (Simone Weil Quotes)
One must always be ready to change sides with justice, that fugitive from the winning camp (Simone Weil Quotes)
When literature becomes deliberately indifferent to the opposition of good and evil it betrays its function and forfeits all claim to excellence (Simone Weil Quotes)
Uprooting is by far the most dangerous of the ills of human society, for it perpetuates itself (Simone Weil Quotes)
Pain and suffering are a kind of currency passed from hand to hand until they reach someone who receives them but does not pass them on (Simone Weil Quotes)
Our science is like a store filled with the most subtle intellectual devices for solving the most complex problems, and yet we are almost incapable of applying the elementary principles of rational thought (Simone Weil Quotes)
The villagers seldom leave the village; many scientists have limited and poorly cultivated minds apart from their specialty (Simone Weil Quotes)
It is a fault to wish to be understood before we have made ourselves clear to ourselves (Simone Weil Quotes)
There is no greater joy for me than looking at the sky on a clear night with an attention so concentrated that all my other thoughts disappear; then one can think that the stars enter into one’s soul (Simone Weil Quotes)
It is impossible that the whole of truth should not be present at every time and every place, available for anyone who desires it (Simone Weil Quotes)
Every being cries out in silence to be read differently. Do not be indifferent to these cries (Simone Weil Quotes)
You could not be born at a better period than the present, when we have lost everything (Simone Weil Quotes)
Workers need poetry more than bread. They need that their life should be a poem. They need some light from eternity. Religion alone can be the source of such poetry (Simone Weil Quotes)
Only an indirect method is effective. We do nothing if we have not first drawn back (Simone Weil Quotes)
To be innocent is to bear the weight of the entire universe. It is to throw away the counterweight (Simone Weil Quotes)
If someone does me injury I must desire that this injury shall not degrade me. I must desire this out of love for him who inflicts it, in order that he may not really have done evil (Simone Weil Quotes)
There is an easiness in salvation which is more difficult to us than all our efforts (Simone Weil Quotes)
A doctrine serves no purpose in itself, but it is indispensable to have one if only to avoid being deceived by false doctrines (Simone Weil Quotes)
A hurtful act is the transference to others of the degradation which we bear in ourselves (Simone Weil Quotes)
For when two beings who are not friends are near each other there is no meeting, and when friends are far apart there is no separation (Simone Weil Quotes)
Difficult as it is really to listen to someone in affliction, it is just as difficult for him to know that compassion is listening to him (Simone Weil Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Human beings are so made that the ones who do the crushing feel nothing; it is the person crushed who feels what is happening. Unless one has placed oneself on the side of the oppressed, to feel with them, one cannot understand (Simone Weil Quotes)
