“We run heedlessly into the abyss after putting something in front of us to stop us seeing it.”
― Blaise Pascal, Pensées

“To make light of philosophy is to be a true philosopher.”
― Blaise Pascal, Pensées

“Our imagination so magnifies the present, because we are continually thinking about it, and so reduces eternity, because we do not think about it, that we turn eternity into nothing and nothing into eternity, and all this is so strongly rooted within us that all our reason cannot save us from it.”
― Blaise Pascal, Pensées

“I have no duty to be anyone's Friend and no man in the world has a duty to be mine. No claims, no shadow of necessity. Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art, like the universe itself (for God did not need to create). It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves
