Quotes from Simone Weil:
All sins are attempts to fill voids.
Evil, when we are in its power, is not felt as evil, but as a necessity, even a duty.
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.
Charity. To love human beings in so far as they are nothing. That is to love them as God does.
The intelligent man who is proud of his intelligence is like the condemned man who is proud of his large cell.
Humility is attentive patience.
