Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
The war existing between the senses and reason.
Blaise Pascal
Thus so wretched is man that he would weary even without any cause for weariness... and so frivolous is he that, though full of a thousand reasons for weariness, the least thing, such as playing billiards or hitting a ball, is sufficient enough to amuse him.
Blaise Pascal
The Fall is an offense to human reason, but once accepted, it makes perfect sense of the human condition.

Blaise Pascal
