Inspiration Quote by Simone Weil — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Love is not consolation. It is light.”

“At the very best, a mind enclosed in language is in prison. It is limited to the number of relations which words can make simultaneously present to it; and remains in ignorance of thoughts which involve the combination of a greater number. These thoughts are outside language, they are unformulable, although they are perfectly rigorous and clear and although every one of the relations they involve is capable of precise expression in words. So the mind moves in a closed space of partial truth, which may be larger or smaller, without ever being able so much as to glance at what is outside.”

“To be able to give away riches is mandatory if you wish to possess them. This is the only way that you will be truly rich.”

“First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.”

“Anything you really want, you can attain, if you really go after it.”

“To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person.”

“Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”

“Knowing is not enough; we must apply!”
