Blaise Pascal: Quotations
- I have discovered that all human evil comes from this, man’s being unable to sit still in a room.
- If all men knew what each said of the other, there would not be four friends in the world.
- Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from a religious conviction.
- One must know oneself, if this does not serve to discover truth, it at least serves as a rule of life and there is nothing better.
- People are usually more convinced by reasons they discovered themselves than by those found by others.
- Since we cannot know all that there is to be known about anything, we ought to know a little about everything.
- The eternal silence of these infinite spaces fills me with dread.
- The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of.
