Weil's philosophical writings explored themes of spirituality, ethics, and social justice, often emphasizing the concepts of attention and compassion. Her life was tragically cut short when she died at the age of 34 due to illness and malnutrition.

Under the name of truth I also included beauty, virtue, and every kind of goodness, so that for me it was a question of a conception of the relationship between grace and desire. The conviction that had come to me was that when one hungers for bread one does not receive stones. But at that time I had not read the Gospel.Just as I was certain that desire has in itself an efficacy in the realm of spiritual goodness whatever its form, I thought it was also possible that it might not be effective in any other realm.http://www.rivertext.com/weil3a.html
