Simone Weil

Why should I worry? It is not my business to think about myself. My business is to think about God. It is God's concern to think about me.

For your right hand to ignore what your left hand does, it will have to be hidden from consciousness.

When a contradiction is impossible to resolve except by a lie, then we know that it is a door.

In fighting against anguish one never produces serenity; the fight against anguish only produces new forms of anguish.

All the pains that distance us are lost pains.

To desire friendship is a great mistake. Friendship should be a free enjoyment, like those provided by art or life.

Time always leads us where we do not want to go. Let us love time.

Love is not consolation. It is light.
