More quotes by Blaise Pascal

Truly it is an evil to be full of faults but it is a still greater evil to be full of them and to be unwilling to recognize them, since that is to add the further fault of a voluntary illusion.
Blaise Pascal
Rivers are roads which move, and which carry us whither we desire to go.
