When we are the victims of illusion, we do not feel it to be an illusion but a reality. It is the same perhaps with evil. Evil when we are in its power is not felt as evil but as a necessity, or even a duty…. Imaginary evil is romantic and varied; real evil is gloomy, monotonous, barren, boring. Imaginary good is boring; real good is always new, marvelous, intoxicating.


-Simone Weil, Gravity and Grace, 1947


Presented by Sr. Ann Astell at the University of Notre Dame's de Nicola Center for Ethics and Culture.
