The heart has its reasons which reason knows not.

~ Blaise Pascal

I made this [letter] very long, because I did not have the leisure to make it shorter.

~ Blaise Pascal

To make light of philosophy is to be a true philosopher.

~ Blaise Pascal

When I see the blind and wretched state of men, when I survey the whole universe in its deadness, and man left to himself with no light, as though lost in this corner of the universe without knowing who put him there, what he has to do, or what will become of him when he dies, incapable of knowing anything, I am moved to terror, like a man transported in his sleep to some terrifying desert island, who wakes up quite lost, with no means of escape. Then I marvel that so wretched a state does not drive people to despair.

~ Blaise Pascal
