Symmetry is what we see at a glance based on the fact that there is no reason for any difference.
Blaise Pascal
Image
What a chimaera then is man, what a novelty, what a monster, what chaos, what a subject of contradiction, what a prodigy! Judge of all things, yet an imbecile earthworm depository of truth, yet a sewer of uncertainty and error pride and refuse of the universe. Who shall resolve this tangle?
Blaise Pascal
Image
A jester, a bad character.
Blaise Pascal
Image
There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Do little things as if they were great, because of the majesty of the Lord Jesus Christ who dwells in thee.
Blaise Pascal

We should seek the truth without hesitation and, if we refuse it, we show that we value the esteem of men more than the search for truth.

Image
Can anything be stupider than that a man has the right to kill me because he lives on the other side of a river and his ruler has a quarrel with mine, though I have not quarrelled with him?
Blaise Pascal
Image
The exterior must be joined to the interior to obtain anything from God, that is to say, we must kneel, pray with the lips, and soon, in order that proud man, who would not submit himself to God, may be now subject to the creature.
Blaise Pascal
Image
I would have far more fear of being mistaken, and of finding that the Christian religion was true, than of not being mistaken in believing it true.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The incredulous are the more credulous. They believe the miracles of Vespasian that they may not believe those of Moses. [Fr., Incredules les plus credules. Ils croient les miracle de Vespasien, pour ne pas croire ceux de Moise.]
Blaise Pascal
Image
Two similar faces, neither of which alone causes laughter, use laughter when they are together, by their resemblance.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Man is neither angel nor beast.
Blaise Pascal
Image
To ridicule philosophy is really to philosophize.
Blaise Pascal
Image
It is not certain that everything is uncertain.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Each one is all in all to himself for being dead, all is dead to him.
Blaise Pascal
Image
If a man loves a woman for her beauty, does he love her? No for the smallpox, which destroys her beauty without killing her, causes his love to cease. And if any one loves me for my judgment or my memory, does he really love me? No for I can lose these qualities without ceasing to be.
Blaise Pascal
Image
One has followed the other in an endless circle, for it is certain that as man's insight increases so he finds both wretchedness and greatness within himself. In a word man knows he is wretched. Thus he is wretched because he is so, but he is truly great because he knows it.
Blaise Pascal
