Blaise Pascal

Apart from Jesus Christ, we do not know what is our life, nor our death, nor God, nor ourselves.

Blaise Pascal

As men are not able to fight against death, misery, ignorance, they have taken it into their heads, in order to be happy, not to think of them at all.

Blaise Pascal

As men who naturally understand their own condition avoid nothing so much as rest, so there is nothing they leave undone in seeking turmoil.

Blaise Pascal

Atheism shows strength of mind, but only to a certain degree.

Blaise Pascal

Being unable to cure death, wretchedness and ignorance, men have decided, in order to be happy, not to think about such things.

Blaise Pascal

Between us and heaven or hell there is only life, which is the frailest thing in the world.

Blaise Pascal

By thought I embrace the universe.

Blaise Pascal

Christianity is strange: it requires human beings to recognize that they are vile and even abominable.

Blaise Pascal

Clarity of mind means clarity of passion, too.

Blaise Pascal

Curiosity is nothing more than vanity. More often than not we only seek knowledge to show it off.
