"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
