Gravity and Grace

Name: Gravity and Grace
Author: Simone Weil

by Simone Weil

Many lines from Weil’s first published book are lodged in me forever. ‘You could not be born at a better time than the present, when we have lost everything.” Also: “The simultaneous existence of opposite virtues in the soul — like pincers to catch hold of God.'
