"Perfect clarity would profit the intellect but..." - Quote by Blaise Pascal

“A town, a landscape are when seen from afar a town and a landscape; but as one gets nearer, there are houses, trees, tiles leaves, grasses, ants, legs of ants and so on to infinity. All this is subsumed under the name of landscape.”

“Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.”

“The best defense against logic is ignorance.”

“As you become more clear about who you really are, you'll be better able to decide what is best for you - the first time around.”

“Let the waters settle and you will see the moon and the stars mirrored in your own being.”

“That which is false troubles the heart, but truth brings joyous tranquillity.”

“One must not think slightingly of the paradoxical…for the paradox is the source of the thinker’s passion, and the thinker without a paradox is like a lover without feeling: a paltry mediocrity.”

“Intellect is a magnitude of intensity, not a magnitude of extensity.”

“The intellectual attainments of a man who thinks for himself resemble a fine painting, where the light and shade are correct, the tone sustained, the colour perfectly harmonised; it is true to life. On the other hand, the intellectual attainments of the mere man of learning are like a large palette, full of all sorts of colours, which at most are systematically arranged, but devoid of harmony, connection and meaning.”
