"Real genius is nothing else but the supernatural virtue of humility in the domain of thought."

#SimoneWeil in an Anthology with #HumanPersonality #RealGenius #HumilityInThought #HumilityAndThought

Relief to read that there's hope, even for the village idiot, that the wall is the same for all, we just have to keep banging our head through it...

"Much obliged" "Muy obligado"

> ... it is always and everywhere good to fulfill an obligation .

--- #SimoneWeil in #HumanPersonality, part Anthology

> A man left alone in the universe would have no rights whatever, but he would have obligations.

#NeedForRoots #NeedOfTheSoul #WeilOnObligation

> To the dimmed understanding of our age there seems nothing odd in claiming an equal share of privilege for everybody - an equal share in things whose essence is privilege. The claim is both absurd and base ; absurd because privilege is, by definition, inequality ; and base because it is not worth claiming.

#WeilOnPrivilege
#WeilOnRights #WeilForJustice like Arundhati Roy...

Ended up reading some Simone Weil again. Whenever I wonder why were stuck in a trajectory towards extinction, inertia, or just stupidity... this example will come to mind.
