Quote
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 colour, or to the moral or other value attributed to the human being in question, or to any consideration whatsoever.
Simone Weil, "Draft for a Statement of Human Obligation"

That is why mysticism is the only source of virtue for humanity. Because when men do not believe that there is infinite mercy behind the curtain of the world, or when they think that this mercy is in front of the curtain, they become cruel.
Simone Weil, excerpt from "He Whom We Must Love is Absent" Gravity and Grace

as Simone Weil said, 'Let us love this distance, since those who do not love each other are not separated.'

Las mismas palabras [por ejemplo, un hombre dice a su mujer, `te amo'] pueden ser triviales o extraordinarias según la forma en que se digan. Y esa forma depende de la profundidad de la región en el ser de un hombre de donde procedan, sin que la voluntad pueda hacer nada. Y, por un maravilloso acuerdo, alcanzan la misma región en quien las escucha.
Simone Weil

Quote
It is the very concept of the nation that needs to be suppressed — or rather, the manner in which the word is used. For the word national and the expressions of which it forms part are empty of all meaning; their only content is millions of corpses, and orphans, and disabled men, and tears and despair.
Simone Weil, "The Power of Words"
