“EVIL WHEN WE ARE IN ITS POWER IS NOT FELT AS EVIL, BUT AS A NECESSITY, OR EVEN A DUTY. SIN IS NOT SO MUCH A DISTANCE, AS A TURNING OF OUR GAZE IN THE WRONG DIRECTION. HUMAN BEINGS ARE SO MADE THAT THE ONES WHO DO THE CRUSHING FEEL NOTHING; IT IS THE PERSON CRUSHED WHO FEELS WHAT IS HAPPENING. POWER IS AS PITILESS TO THE MAN WHO POSSESSES IT, OR THINKS HE DOES, AS IT IS TO ITS VICTIMS; THE LATTER IT CRUSHES, THE FORMER IT INTOXICATES. BUT THE TRUTH IS, NO ONE REALLY POSSESSES IT." - SIMONE WEIL
