Simone Weil Quotes:

Ocupation: Philosopher

Life: February 3, 1909 - August 24, 1943

Birthday: February 3

Death: August 24

As for the spirit of poverty, I do not remember any moment when it was not in me, although only to that unhappily small extent compatible with my imperfection. I fell in love with Saint Francis of Assisi as soon as I came to know about him. I always believed and hoped that one day Fate would force upon me the condition of a vagabond and a beggar which he embraced freely. Actually I felt the same way about prison.
