More quotes by 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
Not to be mad is another form of madness
Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
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

Blaise Pascal
Fashion is a tyrant from which nothing frees us. We must suit ourselves to its fantastic tastes. But being compelled to live under its foolish laws, the wise man is never the first to follow, nor the last to keep it.
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
Everyone, without exception, is searching for happiness.
Blaise Pascal
Any unity which doesn't have its origin in the multitudes is tyranny.
Blaise Pascal
Few men speak humbly of humility, chastely of chastity, skeptically of skepticism.
Blaise Pascal
To deny, to believe, and to doubt well, are to a man what the race is to a horse.
Blaise Pascal
