“The originality and loveliness of her character was apparent to me from her very motions and tones of voice. The irresistible wildness and sublimity of her feelings showed itself in her gestures and her looks. She is gentle and tender; yet not incapable of ardent indignation and hatred. I do not think that there is an excellence at which human nature can arrive that she does not indisputably possess, or of which her character does not afford manifest intimantions.”

Percy Bysshe Shelley, referring to Mary Shelley, quoted in “Moon in Eclipse; A Life of Mary Shelley,”

“It is no coincidence that you have never been loved… Wanting to escape loneliness is cowardice.”

—

Simone Weil, La Pesanteur et la Grâce [Gravity and Grace], (my translation)

Source — Ce n’est pas par hasard que tu n’as jamais été aimée… Désirer échapper à la solitude est une lâcheté.
