"Continuity in everything is unpleasant...." - Quote by Blaise Pascal

“Eloquence is a painting of thought; and thus those who, after having painted it, add something more, make a picture instead of a portrait.”

“The mind must not be forced; artificial and constrained manners fill it with foolish presumption, through unnatural elevation and vain and ridiculous inflation, instead of solid andvigorous nutriment.”

“We know the truth not only through our reason but also through our heart. It is through the latter that we know first principles, and reason, which has nothing to do with it, tries in vain to refute them.”

“We must not stay as we are, doing always what was done last time, or we shall stick in the mud. Yet neither must we undertake a new world as catastrophic Utopians, and wreck our civilization in our hurry to mend it.”

“Innovation doesn't care about anyone.”

“Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this sun of York; And all the clouds that lour'd upon our house In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.”

“It is but too easy to establish another durable and harmonious routine. Immediately all parts of nature consent to it. Only make something to take the place of something, and men will behave as if it was the very thing they wanted.”

“That's nothing - my alarm clock is set for eight.”

“To do the same thing over and over again is not only boredom: it is to be controlled by rather than to control what you do.”
