Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity. Simone Weil

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.
Simone Weil

“To be rooted is perhaps the most important and least recognized need of the human soul.”
Simone Weil

“If we go down into ourselves, we find that we possess exactly what we desire.”
Simone Weil

“All the natural movements of the soul are controlled by laws analogous to those of physical gravity. Grace is the only exception. Grace fills empty spaces, but it can only enter where there is a void to receive it, and it is grace itself which makes this void. The imagination is continually at work filling up all the fissures through which grace might pass.”
Simone Weil, Gravity and Grace

“Everything beautiful has a mark of eternity.”
Simone Weil, Lectures on Philosophy
