Simone Weil writes:
“Everything belonging to creatures is limited except the desire within us which is the mark of our origin. The yearnings which make us seek the unlimited here on earth are therefore for us the only source of crime and error.” Page 271 in Simone Weil: An Anthology (published in the Penguin Modern Classics series)
In other words, unlimited desire, properly speaking, is desire for God, for all things heavenly and when that desire is, mistakenly, applied to things here on earth, then the result is crime and error.
