Text Quotes
We cannot take a step toward the heavens. God crosses the universe and comes to us (Simone Weil Quotes)
The world is the closed door. It is a barrier. And at the same time it is the way through (Simone Weil Quotes)
We must not wish for the disappearance of our troubles but for the grace to transform them (Simone Weil Quotes)
Men owe us what they imagine they will give us. We must forgive them this debt (Simone Weil Quotes)
The sea is not less beautiful in our eyes because we know that sometimes ships are wrecked by it (Simone Weil Quotes)
No human being escapes the necessity of conceiving some good outside himself towards which his thought turns in a movement of desire, supplication, and hope (Simone Weil Quotes)
If you want to know what a man is really like, take notice of how he acts when he loses money (Simone Weil Quotes)
Evil when we are in its power is not felt as evil but as a necessity, or even a duty (Simone Weil Quotes)
The supernatural virtue of justice consists of behaving exactly as though there were equality when one is the stronger in an unequal relationship (Simone Weil Quotes)
The great error of nearly all studies of war... has been to consider war as an episode in foreign policies, when it is an act of interior politics (Simone Weil Quotes)
Grace fills empty spaces, but it can only enter where there is a void to receive it, and it is grace itself which makes this void (Simone Weil Quotes)
The human soul has need of security and also of risk. The fear of violence or of hunger or of any other extreme evil is a sickness of the soul. The boredom produced by a complete absence of risk is also a sickness of the soul (Simone Weil Quotes)
At the centre of the human heart is the longing for an absolute good, a longing which is always there and is never appeased by any object in this world (Simone Weil Quotes)
The joy of learning is as indispensable in study as breathing is in running. Where it is lacking there are no real students, but only poor caricatures of apprentices who, at the end of their apprenticeship, will not even have a trade (Simone Weil Quotes)
Today it is not nearly enough to be a saint, but we must have the saintliness demanded by the present moment, a new saintliness, itself also without precedent (Simone Weil Quotes)
Friendship is a miracle by which a person consents to view from a certain distance, without coming any nearer, the very being who is as necessary to him as food (Simone Weil Quotes)
It is only necessary to know that love is a direction and not a state of the soul. If one is unaware of this, one falls to despair at the first onslaught of affliction (Simone Weil Quotes)
... nothing on earth can stop man from feeling himself born for liberty. Never, whatever may happen, can he accept servitude; for he is a thinking creature (Simone Weil Quotes)
Love consents to all and commands only those who consent. Love is abdication. God is abdication (Simone Weil Quotes)
All the goods of this world... are finite and limited and radically incapable of satisfying the desire that perpetually burns within us for an infinite and perfect good (Simone Weil Quotes)
We do not obtain the most precious gifts by going in search of them but by waiting for them (Simone Weil Quotes)
One should identify oneself with the universe itself. Everything that is less than the universe is subjected to suffering (Simone Weil Quotes)
Evil is license, and that is why it is monotonous: everything has to be drawn from ourselves. One is condemned to false infinity. That is hell itself (Simone Weil Quotes)
We are like plants that have the one choice of being in or out of the light (Simone Weil Quotes)
Contradiction itself, far from always being a criterion of error, is sometimes a sign of truth (Simone Weil Quotes)
There are only two things that pierce the human heart. One is beauty. The other is affliction (Simone Weil Quotes)
It is grace that forms the void inside us and it is grace that can fill the void (Simone Weil Quotes)
It is only from the light which streams constantly from heaven that a tree can derive the energy to strike its roots deep into the soil. The tree is in fact rooted in the sky (Simone Weil Quotes)
The needs of a human being are sacred. Their satisfaction cannot be subordinated either to reasons of state, or to any consideration of money, nationality, race, or color, or to the moral or other value attributed to the human being in question, or to any consideration whatsoever (Simone Weil Quotes)
There is something else which has the power to awaken us to the truth. It is the works of writers of genius. They give us, in the guise of fiction, something equivalent to the actual density of the real, that density which life offers us every day but which we are unable to grasp because we are amusing ourselves with lies (Simone Weil Quotes)
