Blaise Pascal: "412. Men are so inevitably mad that not to be mad would be to give a mad twist to madness."
Blaise Pascal: "248. Figures. The prophets prophesied in figures, like a girdle, beard, burned hair, etc."
Blaise Pascal: "41. How many kingdoms know nothing of us!"
30. We do not choose as captain of a ship the most highly born of those aboard.
Blaise Pascal: "56. We are so unhappy that we can only enjoy something which we should be annoyed to see go wrong, and that can and does happen constantly to thousands of things. Anyone who found the secret of rejoicing when things go well without being annoyed when things go badly would have found the point. It is perpetual motion."
Blaise Pascal: "284. The only religion which is against nature, against common sense and against our pleasures is the only one which has always existed. 425. The only knowledge which is contrary alike to common sense and human nature is the only one always to have existed among men."
Blaise Pascal: 418. The Wager. I: Unity added to infinity does not increase it at all. II: There is not so great a disproportion between our justice and God’s as between unity and infinity. III: We know the existence of the infinite without knowing its nature, because it too has extension, but unlike us no limits. IV: If there be a god, he is infinitely beyond our comprehension, since, being indivisible and without limits, he bears no relation to us. We are therefore incapable of knowing what he is or whether he is. V: …let us say: “Either God is or he is not.” But to which view shall we be inclined? Reason cannot decide this question. Infinite chaos separates us. At the far end of this infinite distance a coin is being spun which will come down heads or tails. How will you wager? Reason cannot make you choose either, reason cannot prove either wrong. VI: Yes, but you must wager."
Blaise Pascal: "130. If he exalts himself, I humble him. If he humbles himself, I exalt him. And I go on contradicting him until he understands that he is a monster that passes all human understanding."
Blaise Pascal: "283. The six ages, the six fathers of the six ages, the six wonders at the beginning of the six ages, the six orients at the beginning of the six ages."
Blaise Pascal: "102. Either Jews or Christians must be wicked."
Blaise Pascal: "318. Apparent discrepancies of the Gospels."
