The Pearl of the Silence of God

"The man who has known pure joy, if only for a moment… is the only man for whom affliction is something devastating… But, after all, for him it is no punishment; it is God holding his hand and pressing rather hard.

For, if he remains constant, what he will discover buried deep under the sound of his own lamentations is the pearl of the silence of God." 

– Simone Weil,

- Gravity and Grace
