Hiroshima Mon Amour (1959) dir. Alain Resnais

Beauty always promises and never gives; it creates hunger, but it has no nourishment for the part of the soul trying here below to fill itself; it only nourishes the part of the soul that gazes.

Late Philosophical Writings, Simone Weil tr. Lawrence E. Schmidt

Fallen Angels (1995) - French Poster

The Young and the Damned (1950) dir. Luis Buñuel

One must accept everything, all things, without any reservation, both inside and outside oneself, in the whole universe, with the same degree of love; but evil must be accepted as evil and good as good. Two perpendicular planes. Space. The breadth, and length, and depth, and height, and the knowledge of Charity which surpasses all knowledge.
