Reason's last step is to acknowledge that there are infinitely many things beyond it.
Blaise Pascal
Image
A town, a landscape are when seen from afar a town and a landscape but as one gets nearer, there are houses, trees, tiles leaves, grasses, ants, legs of ants and so on to infinity. All this is subsumed under the name of landscape.
Blaise Pascal
Image
All sorrow has its root in man's inability to sit quiet in a room by himself.
Blaise Pascal
