"I and others of my sex find ourselves controlled by a form of government in the inauguration of which we had no voice."

Previous Quote

All the natural movements of the soul are controlled by laws analogous to those of physical gravity. Grace is the only exception. Grace fills empty spaces, but it can only enter where there is a void to receive it, and it is grace itself which makes this void. The imagination is continually at work filling up all the fissures through which grace might pass.

— Simone Weil
