Blaise Pascal
  • Men despise religion. They hate it and are afraid it may be true.

  • Men are so necessarily mad, that not to be mad would amount to another form of madness.

  • Men blaspheme what they do not know.

  • The greater intellect one has, the more originality one finds in men. Ordinary persons find no difference between men.

  • Men often take their imagination for their heart and they believe they are converted as soon as they think of being converted.
