Simone Weil Quotes

Art Has No Immediate Future Because All Art Is Collective And There Is No More Collective Life(there Are Only Dead Collections Of People), And Also Because Of This Breaking Of The True Pact Between The Body And The Soul. Greek Art Coincided With The Beginning Of Geometry And With Athleticism, The Art Of The Middle Ages With The Craftsmen's Guilds, The Art Of The Renaissance With The Beginning Of Mechanics, Etc ... Since 1914 There Has Been A Complete Cut. Even Comedy Is Almost Impossible. There Is Only Room For Satire (when Was It Easier To Understand Juvenal?). Art Will Never Be Reborn Except From Amidst A General Anarchy - It Will Be Epic No Doubt, Because Affliction Will Have Simplified A Great Many Things ... It Is Therefore Quite Useless For You To Envy Leonardo Or Bach. Greatness In Our Times Must Take A Different Course. Moreover It Can Only Be Solitary, Obscure And Without An Echo ... (but Without An Echo, No Art).
