Image
Pride counterbalances all our miseries, for it either hides them, or, if it discloses them, boasts of that disclosure. Pride has such a thorough possession of us, even in the midst of our miseries and faults, that we are prepared to sacrifice life with joy, if it may but be talked of.

Instinct teaches us to look for happiness outside ourselves.
Blaise Pascal

We are not satisfied with real life we want to live some imaginary life in the eyes of other people and to seem different from what we actually are.
Blaise Pascal

It is not good to be too free. It is not good to have all one wants.
Blaise Pascal
Image
There are two kinds of people one can call reasonable: those who serve God with all their heart because they know him, and those who seek him with all their heart because they do not know him.
Blaise Pascal
Image
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.
