Simone Weil, a Jewish convert...
Simone Weil, a Jewish convert to Christianity, grasps the real meaning of her new faith: "Christ does not save all those who say to him, 'Lord, Lord.' But he saves all those who out of a pure heart give a piece of bread to a starving man, without thinking about him the least little bit. And these, when he thanks them, reply: 'Lord, when did we feed thee?' ... An atheist and an infidel, capable of pure compassion, are as close to God as is a Christian, and consequently know him equally well, although their knowledge is expressed in other words, or remains unspoken. For God is love."
