Blaise Pascal

I am in the utmost perplexity, yand have wished a hundred times, that if there is a A God, nature would manifest him without ambiguity, and that if there is not, every imaginary sign of his existence might vanish : in short, let nature speak distinctly, or be totally silent, and I shall know what course to take.
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
Image
Human beings do not know their place and purpose. They have fallen from their true place, and lost their true purpose. They search everywhere for their place and purpose, with great anxiety. But they cannot find them because they are surrounded by darkness.
Blaise Pascal
Image
How shall one who is so weak in his childhood become really strong when he grows older? We only change our fancies.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The stream is always purer at its source. [Fr., Les choses valent toujours mieux dans leur source.]

I have made this letter longer than usual, only because I have not had the time to make it shorter.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Even those who write against fame wish for the fame of having written well, and those who read their works desire the fame of having read them.
Blaise Pascal
