Dans la nuit du vampire des abysses
"Every sin is an attempt to fly from emptiness. Hell is a nothingness which has the pretension and the illusion of being. A mere chance can strip us of our possessions — except the power to say ‘I’. That is what we have to give to God — in other words, to sacrifice. There is no other free act which is given us to accomplish — only the surrender of the ‘I’."
Simone Weil, La pesanteur et la grâce, 1947
"The lamps are going out all over Europe, we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime."
