More From Blaise Pascal

It is only because the majority opinion will always be opposed by some that our knowledge and understanding progress. in the process by which opinion is formed, it is very probable that, by the time any view becomes a majority view, it is no longer the best view: somebody will already have advanced beyond the point which the majority have reached. it is because we do not yet know which of the many competing new opinions will prove itself the best that we wait until it has gained sufficient support.
Wisdom Views Waiting
Truth always rests with the minority, and the minority is always stronger than the majority, because the minority is generally formed by those who really have an opinion, while the strength of a majority is illusory, formed by the gangs who have no opinion - and who, therefore, in the next instant (when it is evident that the minority is the stronger) assume its opinion ... while truth again reverts to a new minority.

Grey. it makes no statement whatever; it evokes neither feelings nor associations: it is really neither visible nor invisible. its inconspicuousness gives it the capacity to mediate, to make visible, in a positively illusionistic way, like a photograph. it has the capacity that no other colour has, to make 'nothing' visible.
Art Giving Feelings
I will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the united states. it is not the constitution as i would like to have it, but as it is, that is to be defended. the constitution will not be preserved & defended until it is enforced & obeyed in every part of every one of the united states. it must be so respected, obeyed, enforced and defended, and let the grass grow where it may.

Confronting our feelings and giving them appropriate expression always takes strength, not weakness. it takes strength to acknowledge our anger, and sometimes more strength yet to curb the aggressive urges anger may bring and to channel them into nonviolent outlets. it takes strength to face our sadness and to grieve and to let our grief and our anger flow in tears when they need to. it takes strength to talk about our feelings and to reach out for help and comfort when we need it.

Everything that from eternity has happened in heaven and earth, the life of god and all the deeds of time simply are the struggles for spirit to know itself, to find itself, be for itself, and finally unite itself to itself; it is alienated and divided, but only so as to be able thus to find itself and return to itself...as existing in an individual form, this liberation is called 'i'; as developed to its totality, it is free spirit; as feeling, it is love; and as enjoyment, it is blessedness.
