 Simone Weil (1909-1943)

"Imagination and fiction make up more than three quarters of our real life."

"Imaginary evil is romantic and varied; real evil is gloomy, monotonous, barren, boring. Imaginary good is boring; real good is always new, marvelous, intoxicating."

"Unless one has placed oneself on the side of the oppressed, to feel with them, one cannot understand."

"The intelligent man who is proud of his intelligence is like the condemned man who is proud of his large cell."

"Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity."
