Simone Weil about Loneliness : We can only know one thing about God

We can only know one thing about God - that he is what we are not. Our wretchedness alone is an image of this. The more we contemplate it the more we contemplate him.

Notice the difference between what happens when a man says to himself I have failed three times and what happens when he says I am a failure.
