We conceal it from ourselves in vain - we must always love something. In those matters seemingly removed from love, the feeling is secretly to be found, and man cannot possibly live for a moment without it.

More quotes by Blaise Pascal
Death is easier to bear without thinking of it, than the thought of death without peril.
Blaise Pascal
If you want others to have a good opinion of you, say nothing.
Blaise Pascal
It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason. That is what faith is: God perceived by the heart, not by the reason.
Blaise Pascal
Those we call the ancients were really new in everything.
Blaise Pascal
As men are not able to fight against death, misery, ignorance, they have taken it into their heads, in order to be happy, not to think of them at all.
Blaise Pascal
You're basically killing each other to see who's got the better imaginary friend.
Blaise Pascal
The present is never the mark of our designs. We use both past and present as our means and instruments, but the future only as our object and aim.
Blaise Pascal
Pride counterbalances all our miseries, for it either hides them, or, if it discloses them, boasts of that disclosure. Pride has such a thorough possession of us, even in the midst of our miseries and faults, that we are prepared to sacrifice life with joy, if it may but be talked of.
Blaise Pascal
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
Two similar faces, neither of which alone causes laughter, use laughter when they are together, by their resemblance.
Blaise Pascal
Since we cannot be universal and know all that is to be known of everything, we ought to know a little about everything. For it is far better to know something about everything than to know all about one thing. This universality is the best. If we can have both, still better but if we must choose, we ought to choose the former.
Blaise Pascal
The gist is that good and evil are foreordained. What is foreordained comes necessarily to be after a prior act of divine volition...Rather, everything small and large is written and comes to be in a known and expected measure.
Blaise Pascal
The secrets of nature are concealed her agency is perpetual, but we do not always discover its effects time reveals them from age to age and although she is always the same in herself, she is not always equally well known.
Blaise Pascal
True eloquence scorns eloquence.
Blaise Pascal
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
There are two kinds of people one can call reasonable: those who serve God with all their heart because they know him, and those who seek him with all their heart because they do not know him.
Blaise Pascal
How shall one who is so weak in his childhood become really strong when he grows older? We only change our fancies.
Blaise Pascal
It is not good to be too free. It is not good to have all one wants.
Blaise Pascal
The imagination enlarges little objects so as to fill our souls with a fantastic estimate and, with rash insolence, it belittles the great to its own measure, as when talking of God.
Blaise Pascal
If you do not love too much, you do not love enough.
Blaise Pascal
