A rock in our path. To hurl ourselves upon this rock as though after a certain intensity of desire had been reached it could not exist any more. Or else to retreat as though we ourselves did not exist. Desire contains something of the absolute and if it fails (once its energy has been used up) the absolute is transferred to the obstacle. This produces the state of mind of the defeated, the oppressed.
Simone Weil, Gravity and Grace (timeimmemorial)

“If you suffer the events of life more deeply than others, that should not surprise you; a great soul must of its nature contain more sorrow than a small one.” - René (1802), François-René de Chateaubriand
