You're basically killing each other to see who's got the better imaginary friend.
Blaise Pascal
That dog is mine said those poor children that place in the sun is mine such is the beginning and type of usurpation throughout the earth. [Fr., Ce chien est a moi, disaient ces pauvres enfants c'est la ma place au soleil. Voila le commencement et l'image de l'usurpation de toute la terre.]
Blaise Pascal
To deny, to believe, and to doubt well, are to a man what the race is to a horse.
Blaise Pascal
Tout notre raisonnement se re duit a' ce der au sentiment. All our reasoning comes down to surrendering to feeling.
Blaise Pascal
Nothing is surer than that the people will be weak.
Blaise Pascal
All men naturally hate one another. I hold it a fact, that if men knew exactly what one says of the other, there would not be four friends in the world.
Blaise Pascal
If it is an extraordinary blindness to live without investigating what we are, it is a terrible one to live an evil life, while believing in God
Blaise Pascal
Mankind suffers from two excesses: to exclude reason, and to live by nothing but reason.
Blaise Pascal
Faith is a sounder guide than reason. Reason can only go so far, but faith has no limits.
Blaise Pascal
Le nez de Cle opa tre: s'il e u t e te plus court, toute la face de la terre aurait change . Cleopatra'snose: if it had beenshorter the whole face of the earth would have been different.
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
Beauty is a harmonious relation between something in our nature and the quality of the object which delights us.
Blaise Pascal
The method of not erring is sought by all the world. The logicians profess to guide it, the geometricians alone attain it, and apart from science, and the imitations of it, there are no true demonstrations.
Blaise Pascal
May God never abandon me.
Blaise Pascal
Imagination is the deceptive part in man, the mistress of error and falsehood.
Blaise Pascal
Just as all things speak about God to those that know Him, and reveal Him to those that love Him, they also hide Him from all those that neither seek nor know Him.
Blaise Pascal
We do not content ourselves with the life we have in ourselves and in our being we desire to live an imaginary life in the mind of others, and for this purpose we endeavor to shine. We labor unceasingly to adorn and preserve this imaginary existence and neglect the real.
Blaise Pascal
Men seek rest in a struggle against difficulties and when they have conquered these, rest becomes insufferable.
Blaise Pascal
Nature confuses the skeptics and reason confutes the dogmatists
Blaise Pascal
All great amusements are dangerous to the Christian life but among all those which the world has invented there is none more to be feared than the theater. It is a representation of the passions so natural and so delicate that it excites them and gives birth to them in our hearts, and, above all, to that of love.
Blaise Pascal
