Simone Weil

Two prisoners whose cells adjoin communicate with each other by knocking on the wall. The wall is the thing which separates them but is also their means of communication. It is the same with us and God. Every separation is a link.

It is only the impossible that is possible for God. He has given over the possible to the mechanics of matter and the autonomy of his creatures.

To want friendship is a great fault. Friendship ought to be a gratuitous joy, like the joys afforded by art or life.

I can, therefore I am.
