The poison of skepticism becomes, like alcoholism, tuberculosis, and some other diseases, much more virulent in a hitherto virgin soil (Simone Weil Quotes)
There can be a true grandeur in any degree of submissiveness, because it springs from loyalty to the laws and to an oath, and not from baseness of soul (Simone Weil Quotes)
There is no detachment where there is no pain. And there is no pain endured without hatred or lying unless detachment is present too (Simone Weil Quotes)

I only read what I am hungry for at the moment when I have an appetite for it, and then I do not read, I eat (Simone Weil Quotes)

A beautiful woman looking at her image in the mirror may very well believe the image is herself. An ugly woman knows it is not (Simone Weil Quotes)
Human existence is so fragile a thing and exposed to such dangers that I cannot love without trembling (Simone Weil Quotes)
Those who love a cause are those who love the life which has to be led in order to serve it (Simone Weil Quotes)
Sin is not a distance, it is a turning of our gaze in the wrong direction (Simone Weil Quotes)
