Simone Weil Quotes:
Ocupation: Philosopher
Life: February 3, 1909 - August 24, 1943
Birthday: February 3
Death: August 24
If you say to someone who has ears to hear: "What you are doing to me is not just," you may touch and awaken at its source the spirit of attention and love. But it is not the same with words like, "I have the right..." or "you have no right to..." They evoke a latent war and awaken the spirit of contention.
