Simone Weil
“Tant que l'homme tolère d'avoir l'âme emplie de ses propres pensées, de ses pensées personnelles, il est entièrement soumis jusqu'au plus intime de ses pensées à la contrainte des besoins et au jeu mécanique de la force. S'il croit qu'il en est autrement, il est dans l'erreur. Mais tout change quand, par la vertu d'une véritable attention, il vide son âme pour y laisser pénétrer les pensées de la sagesse éternelle.”
Simone Weil, L'enracinement

Simone Weil
“How many people have been thus led, through lack of self-confidence, to stifle their most justified doubts?”
Simone Weil, Oppression and Liberty

Simone Weil
“The joy of learning is as indispensable in study as breathing is to running.”
Simone Weil, Waiting for God

Simone Weil
“The world is the closed door. It is a barrier. And at the same time it is the way through.”
Simone Weil

Simone Weil
“When we hit a nail with a hammer the whole of the shock received by the large head of the nail passes into a point without any of it being lost, although it is only a point. If the hammer and head of the nail were infinitely big, if would be just the same; the point of the nail would transmit this infinite shock at the point to which it was applied. Extreme affliction, which means physical pain, distress of the soul, and social degradation all at the same time, is a nail whose point is applied at the very center of the soul, whose head is all necessity, spreading throughout space and time”
Simone Weil
