From "The Art of Cruelty" by Maggie Nelson on Simone Weil:

Her ruminations were saturated with the desire to dispense with subjectivity altogether, and to become completely emptied out, effaced, thing-like, in order to get closer to God … “to become nothing” she wrote. “My heart is to do the will of Him who sent me.”
