“If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.”
Mark Twain

Simone Weil
“The national interest cannot be defined as a common interest of the industrial, commercial, and financial companies of a country, because there is no such common interest; nor can it be defined as the life, liberty, and well-being of the citizens, because they are continually being adjured to sacrifice their well-being, their liberty, and their lives to the national interest.

Simone Weil, The Simone Weil Reader

David Bentley Hart, The Experience of God : Being, Consciousness, Bliss
