| A few from Blaise Pascal
Blaise Pascal, from his unfinished Pensées:
"Nothing is so conformable to reason as to disavow reason."
"The wisest reason takes as her own principles those which the imagination of man has everywhere rashly introduced."
"To make light of philosophy is to be a true philosopher."
"The heart has its reasons, of which reason knows nothing"
"What a Chimera is man! What a novelty, a monster, a chaos, a contradiction, a prodigy! Judge of all things, an imbecile worm of the earth; depository of truth, and sewer of error and doubt; the glory and refuse of the universe. Who shall unravel this confusion?"
