"An atheist may be simply one whose faith and love are concentrated on the impersonal aspects of God." ― Simone Weil Topic(s): Faith More From Simone Weil "To write the lives of the great in separating them from their works necessarily ends by above all stressing their pettiness, because it is in their work that they have put the best of themselves." "To want friendship is a great fault. Friendship ought to be a gratuitous joy, like the joys afforded by art or life." "The contemporary form of true greatness lies in a civilization founded on the spirituality of work." More In Faith "I suppose I should say that I treasure blasphemy, as a faith of the highest order."― Rick Moody "My faith is the grand drama of my life. I’m a believer, so I sing words of God to those who have no faith."― Olivier Messiaen "When a person is determined to believe something, the very absurdity of the doctrine confirms them in their faith."― Junius
