Quote_1.png
Simone Weil
"Every perfect life is a parable invented by God."

Life

Quote_1.png
Simone Weil
"A doctrine serves no purpose in itself, but it is indispensable to have one if only to avoid being deceived by false doctrines."

Purpose

Quote_1.png
Simone Weil
"To write the lives of the great in separating them from their works necessarily ends by above all stressing their pettiness, because it is in their work that they have put the best of themselves."

Work

Quote_1.png
Simone Weil
"It is not the cause for which men took up arms that makes a victory more just or less, it is the order that is established when arms have been laid down."

Man

Quote_1.png
Simone Weil
"Evil, when we are in its power, is not felt as evil, but as a necessity, even a duty."

Power

Quote_1.png
Simone Weil
"Imagination is always the fabric of social life and the dynamic of history. The influence of real needs and compulsions, of real interests and materials, is indirect because the crowd is never conscious of it."

Imagination

Quote_1.png
Simone Weil
"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."

Nothing

Quote_1.png
Simone Weil
"If we are suffering illness, poverty, or misfortune, we think we shall be satisfied on the day it ceases. But there too, we know it is false; so soon as one has got used to not suffering one wants something else."

Desire

Quote_1.png
Simone Weil
"With no matter what human being, taken individually, I always find reasons for concluding that sorrow and misfortune do not suit him; either because he seems too mediocre for anything so great, or, on the contrary, too precious to be destroyed."

Being

Quote_1.png
Simone Weil
"A self-respecting nation is ready for anything, including war, except for a renunciation of its option to make war."
