What part of us feels pleasure? Is it our hand, our arm, our flesh, or our blood? It must obviously be something immaterial.
Blaise Pascal
Image
When some passion or effect is described in a natural style, we find within ourselves the truth of what we hear, without knowing it was there.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Look for the truth, it wants to be found.
Blaise Pascal

The multitude which does not reduce itself to unity is confusion.
Blaise Pascal
