Image
It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason. That is what faith is: God perceived by the heart, not by the reason.
Blaise Pascal
Image
How vain painting is-we admire the realistic depiction of objects which in their original state we don't admire at all.
Blaise Pascal
Image
I should not be a Christian but for the miracles.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The principles of pleasure are not firm and stable. They are different in all mankind, and variable in every particular with such a diversity that there is no man more different from another than from himself at different times.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere.
Blaise Pascal
Image
If we dreamed the same thing every night, it would affect us much as the objects we see every day. And if a common workman were sure to dream every night for twelve hours that he was a king, I believe he would be almost as happy as a king who should dream every night for twelve hours on end that he was a common workman.

To find recreation in amusement is not happiness.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Our reason is always disappointed by the inconstancy of appearances.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We should seek the truth without hesitation and, if we refuse it, we show that we value the esteem of men more than the search for truth.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Human life is thus only an endless illusion. Men deceive and flatter each other. No one speaks of us in our presence as he does when we are gone. Society is based on mutual hypocrisy.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We conceal it from ourselves in vain - we must always love something. In those matters seemingly removed from love, the feeling is secretly to be found, and man cannot possibly live for a moment without it.
Blaise Pascal
Image
There are plenty of maxims in the world all that remains is to apply them.
Blaise Pascal
Image
Clarity of mind means clarity of passion, too this is why a great and clear mind loves ardently and sees distinctly what it loves.
Blaise Pascal
Image
We know truth, not only by the reason, but also by the heart.
Blaise Pascal
Image
The God of the infinite is the God of the infinitesimal.
Blaise Pascal
Image
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
Image
All men naturally hate each other. We have used concupiscence as best we can to make it serve the common good, but this is mere sham and a false image of charity, for essentially it is just hate.
Blaise Pascal
Image
There is enough light for those who only desire to see, and enough obscurity for those who have a contrary disposition
Blaise Pascal

If you want to be a real seeker of truth, you need to, at least once in your lifetime, doubt in, as much as it's possible, in everything.
