Blaise Pascal
All the miseries of mankind come from one thing, not knowing how to remain alone.
By a peculiar prerogative, not only each individual is making daily advances in the sciences, and may makes advances in morality, but all mankind together are making a continual progress in proportion as the universe grows older; so that the whole human race, during the course of so many ages, may be considered as one man, who never ceases to live and learn.
Clarity of mind means clarity of passion, too; this is why a great and clear mind loves ardently and sees distinctly what it loves.
Contradiction is not a sign of falsity, nor the lack of contradiction a sign of truth.
Eloquence is a painting of the thoughts.
