“We run carelessly over the precipice after putting something in front of us to prevent us seeing it.” --Blaise Pascal
“For after all what is man in nature? ...a central point between nothing and all, and infinitely far from understanding either. The ends of things and their beginnings are impregnably concealed from him in an impenetrable secret. He is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness out of which he was drawn and the infinite in which he is engulfed.” --Blaise Pascal
“If our state were really happy, we should not need to take our minds off it in order to make ourselves happy.” --Blaise Pascal
