"Mākslinieks nekad nav apsteidzis savu laiku, tā ir lielākā daļa cilvēku, kas atpalikusi no savējā."

"Simona Veila" > Simona Veja [izruna - franciska, nevis vāciska] French philosopher, syndicalist Simone Weil (pronounced "vey") (1909-1943) lives, Paris, France. Andre Gide called her the saint of all outsiders. Despite her rapturous love of Jesus Christ, she never ceased to study the truths of the religions of the East. She stayed outside of any church, but her passionate need to share the sufferings of others led her to fight with the anarchists in the Spanish Civil War, to work as a field hand & an unskilled laborer, & ultimately to die in England at the age of 34 from tuberculosis complicated by her refusing to eat more than Hitler's rations allotted to her countrymen in occupied France. Seven people attended her funeral. After her death writers as diverse as T.S. Eliot & Albert Camus declared her one of our century's foremost thinkers.
