More quotes by Simone Weil
Art is the symbol of the two noblest human efforts: to construct and to refrain from destruction.
The most important part of education — to teach the meaning of to know (in the scientific sense).
Men of the most brilliant intelligence can be born, live and die in error and falsehood.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
