The heart has its reasons that reason does not know.

Other Pascal quotes:

All men's miseries derive from not being able to sit in a quiet room alone.

Human beings must be known to be loved; but Divine beings must be loved to be known.

In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe and enough shadows to blind those who don't.

It is the heart which perceives God and not the reason. That is what faith is: God perceived by the heart, not by the reason.

Nature is an infinite sphere of which the center is everywhere and the circumference nowhere.

Nothing is as approved as mediocrity, the majority has established it and it fixes it fangs on whatever gets beyond it either way.

Our nature consist in motion; complete rest is death.

Small minds are concerned with the extraordinary, great minds with the ordinary.

The least movement is of importance to all nature. The entire ocean is affected by a pebble.
