"Influence comes out of the work that you've done and the things you've stood for. Influence and power shouldn't be given to just anybody who wants them."

Previous Quote

Whenever a human being, through the commission of a crime, has become exiled from good, he needs to be reintegrated with it through suffering. The suffering should be inflicted with the aim of bringing the soul to recognize freely some day that its infliction was just.

— Simone Weil
