Blaise Pascal quotes
"One must know oneself, if this does not serve to discover truth, it at least serves as a rule of life and there is nothing better."
Take this quote mobile"The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of."
"For after all what is man in nature? A nothing in relation to infinity, all in relation to nothing, a central point between nothing and all and infinitely far from understanding either. The ends of things and their beginnings are impregnably concealed from him in an impenetrable secret. He is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness out of which he was drawn and the infinite in which he is engulfed."
"Since we cannot know all that there is to be known about anything, we ought to know a little about everything."
"The Knowledge of God is very far from the love of Him."
"Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from a religious conviction."
"We are generally the better persuaded by the reasons we discover ourselves than by those given to us by others."
"Clarity of mind means clarity of passion, too; this is why a great and clear mind loves ardently and sees distinctly what it loves."
"Man is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness from which he emerges and the infinity in which he is engulfed."
"The eternal silence of these infinite spaces fills me with dread."
