  Decreation

  It is necessary not to be “myself,” still less to be “ourselves.”
  The city gives one the feeling of being at home.
  We must take the feeling of being at home into exile
  We must be rooted in the absence of a place.

  To uproot oneself socially and vegetatively.
  To exile oneself from every earthly country.
  To all that to others, from the outside, is a substitute for decreation and results in unreality
  For by uprooting oneself one seeks greater reality.

  ~ Simone Weil, Gravity and Grace
