More From Blaise Pascal

You unlock this door with the key of imagination. beyond it is another dimension: a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. you’re moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. you’ve just crossed over into… the twilight zone.
Moving Twilight Keys
I often like to think that our map of the world is wrong, that where we have centered physics, we should actually place literature as the central metaphor that we want to work out from. because i think literature occupies the same relationship to life that life occupies to death. a book is life with one dimension pulled out of it. and life is something that lacks a dimension which death will give it. i imagine death to be a kind of release into the imagination in the sense that for characters in a book, what we experience is an unimaginable dimension of freedom.
Book Character Thinking
Nature is man's inorganic body -- that is to say, nature insofar as it is not the human body. man lives from nature -- i.e., nature is his body -- and he must maintain a continuing dialogue with it is he is not to die. to say that man's physical and mental life is linked to nature simply means that nature is linked to itself, for man is a part of nature.

We do not respect people's beliefs, we evaluate their reasons. if my reasons are good enough for believing what i believe, you will helplessly believe what i believe. i will give you my reasons and reasons are contagious. that is what it is to be a rational human being.

The impious soul, however, punishes itself by seeking a human body to enter into, for no other body can receive a human soul; it cannot enter the body of an animal devoid of reason. divine law preserves the human soul from such infamy... the soul passeth from form to form; and the mansions of her pilgrimage are manifold. thou puttest off thy bodies as raiment; and as vesture dost thou fold them up. thou art from old, o soul of man; yea, thou art from everlasting.
Art Animal Men
Nature hath made men so equal in the faculties of body and mind, as that though there be found one man sometimes manifestly stronger in body, or of quicker mind than another, yet when all is reckoned together, the difference between man and man is not so considerable as that one man can thereupon claim to himself any benefit to which another may not pretend as well as he.

We should seek the truth without hesitation; and, if we refuse it, we show that we value the esteem of men more than the search for truth.

A government decision that slashes spending at the wrong time and sends a weak economy into a tailspin can be just as undisciplined as one that unleashes a wasteful spending spree in an overheated environment.

Never underestimate a man's ability to make you feel guilty for his mistakes.

Just as doubt, despair, and desensitization go together, so do faith, hope, and charity. the latter, however, must be carefully and constantly nurtured, whereas despair, like dandelions, needs so little encouragement to sprout and spread. despair comes so naturally to the natural man!
