"Whether the mask is labeled fascism, democracy, or dictatorship of the proletariat, our great adversary remains the apparatus—the bureaucracy, the police, the military. Not the one facing us across the frontier of the battle lines, which is not so much our enemy as our brothers' enemy, but the one that calls itself our protector and makes us its slaves. No matter what the circumstances, the worst betrayal will always be to subordinate ourselves to this apparatus and to trample underfoot, in its service, all human values in ourselves and in others."
"سواء اتخذ القناع اسم الفاشية، أو الديمقراطية، أو دكتاتورية البروليتاريا، يبقى خصمنا الأكبر هو الجهاز – البيروقراطية، الشرطة، الجيش. ليس ذاك الذي يواجهنا على تخوم ساحات الوغى، فهو ليس عدونا بقدر ما هو عدو إخوتنا، بل ذاك الذي يزعم أنه حامينا ويستعبدنا. ومهما كانت الظروف، فإن الخيانة العظمى تكمن دائمًا في أن نذعن لهذا الجهاز، وأن نسحق، في سبيل خدمته، كل القيم الإنسانية فينا وفي غيرنا."
Simone Weil
