science has now been for a long time - and to an ever-increasing extent - a collective enterprise. Actually, new results are always, in fact, the work of specific individuals; but, save perhaps for rare exceptions, the value of any result depends on such a complex set of interrelations with past discoveries and possible future researches that even the mind of the inventor cannot embrace the whole.

Simone Weil 469 quotes

One could count on one's finge...

One could count on one's fingers the number of scientists throughout the world with a general idea of the history and development of their particular science: there is none who is really competent as regards sciences other than his own. As science forms an indivisible whole, one may say that there are no longer, strictly speaking, scientists, but only drudges doing scientific work ...

one is never got out of the cave, one comes out of it.

It is a fault to wish to be understood before we have made ourselves clear to ourselves.

Fortunately the sky is beautiful everywhere.

Simone Weil 469 quotes

There is no greater joy for me...

There is no greater joy for me than looking at the sky on a clear night with an attention so concentrated that all my other thoughts disappear; then one can think that the stars enter into one's soul.

Simone Weil 469 quotes

[We are not] to take one step,...

[We are not] to take one step, even in the direction of what is good, beyond that to which we are irresistibly impelled by God, and this applies to action, word, and thought.

Simone Weil 469 quotes

It is impossible that the whol...

It is impossible that the whole of truth should not be present at every time and every place, available for anyone who desires it.

Simone Weil 469 quotes

War, which perpetuates itself ...

War, which perpetuates itself under the form of preparation for war, has once and for all given the State an important role in production.

Simone Weil 469 quotes

Death. An instantaneous state, without past or future. Indispensable for entering eternity.

Simone Weil 469 quotes

Every being cries out in silence to be read differently. Do not be indifferent to these cries.

What hope is there for innocence if it is not recognized?

Simone Weil 469 quotes

A well ordered society would be one where the State only had a negative action, comparable to that of a rudder: a light pressure at the right moment to counteract the first suggestion of any loss of equilibrium.

Simone Weil 469 quotes

You could not be born at a better period than the present, when we have lost everything.

Simone Weil 469 quotes

Workers need poetry more than ...

Workers need poetry more than bread. They need that their life should be a poem. They need some light from eternity. Religion alone can be the source of such poetry.

Simone Weil 469 quotes

The authentic and pure values,...

The authentic and pure values, truth, beauty, and goodness, in the activity of a human being are the result of one and the same act, a certain application of the full attention to the object. Teaching should have no aim but to prepare, by training the attention, for the possibility of such an act. All the other advantages of instruction are without interest.

Simone Weil 469 quotes

Only an indirect method is effective. We do nothing if we have not first drawn back.

Simone Weil 469 quotes

We have to try to cure our faults by attention and not by will.

Simone Weil 469 quotes

Of two men who have no experience of God, he who denies him is perhaps nearer to him than the other.
