Simone Weil Quotes
When We Hit A Nail With A Hammer The Whole Of The Shock Received By The Large Head Of The Nail Passes Into A Point Without Any Of It Being Lost, Although It Is Only A Point. If The Hammer And Head Of The Nail Were Infinitely Big, If Would Be Just The Same; The Point Of The Nail Would Transmit This Infinite Shock At The Point To Which It Was Applied. Extreme Affliction, Which Means Physical Pain, Distress Of The Soul, And Social Degradation All At The Same Time, Is A Nail Whose Point Is Applied At The Very Center Of The Soul, Whose Head Is All Necessity, Spreading Throughout Space And Time
