"During the last quarter of a century all the authority associated with the function of spiritual guidance … has seeped down into the lowest publications. … Between a poem by Valéry and an advertisement for a beauty cream promising a rich marriage to anyone who used it there was at no point a breach of continuity. So as a result of literature's spiritual usurpation, a beauty cream advertisement possessed, in the eyes of little village girls, the authority that was formerly attached to the words of priests." - Simone Weil

"When a man's life is destroyed or damaged by some wound or privation of soul or body, which is due to other men's actions or negligence, it is not only his sensibility that suffers but also his aspiration toward the good. Therefore, there has been sacrilege towards that which is sacred in him." - Simone Weil

"Do not allow yourself to be imprisoned by any affection. Keep your solitude.
