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

  • Two things control men's nature, instinct and experience.

  • Man's true nature being lost, everything becomes his nature as, his true good being lost, everything becomes his good.

  • Our nature consists in motion complete rest is death.

  • Habit is a second nature that destroys the first. But what is nature? Why is habit not natural? I am very much afraid that nature itself is only a first habit, just as habit is a second nature.
