Blaise Pascal
Human life is thus only a perpetual illusion men deceive and flatter each other. No one speaks of us in our presence as he does of us in our absence. Human society is founded on mutual deceit few friendships would endure if each knew what his friend said of him in his absence, although he then spoke in sincerity and without passion.
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
Things have different qualities, and the soul different inclinations for nothing is simple which is presented to the soul, and the soul never presents itself simply to any object. Hence it comes that we weep and laugh at the same thing.
Blaise Pascal
Necessity, that great refuge and excuse for human frailty, breaks through all law and he is not to be accounted in fault whose crime is not the effect of choice, but force.
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
The heart has arguments with which the logic of mind is not aquainted.
Blaise Pascal
I take it as a matter not to be disputed, that if all knew what each said of the other, there would not be four friends in the world. This seems proved by the quarrels and disputes caused by the disclosures which are occasionally made.
Blaise Pascal
