Simone Weil and the "question of time"
 

Weil: "If we behold ourselves at a particular instant--the present instant, severed from the past and the future--we are innocent. We cannot be at this instant anything other than what we are; all progress implies a duration. It forms part of the order of the world, at this instant, that we should be such as we are. All problems come back to the question of time."
