"Habit is a second nature that destroys..." - Quote by Blaise Pascal

“Man's grandeur is that he knows himself to be miserable.”

“Our nature consists in motion; complete rest is death.”

“Il n'est pas certain que tout soit incertain. (Translation: It is not certain that everything is uncertain.)”

“When habit has strengthened our sense of duties, they leave us no time for other things; but when young we neglect them and this gives us time for anything.”

“Tis nothing when you are used to it.”

“Rigid, the skeleton of habit alone upholds the human frame.”

“Every day or two, I strolled to the village to hear some of the gossip which is incessantly going on there, circulating either from mouth to mouth, or from newspaper to newspaper, and which, taken in homeopathic doses, was really as refreshing in its way as the rustle of leaves and the peeping of frogs.”

“The sun shines today also.”

“For without you, I swear, the town Has become like a prison to me. Distraction and the mountain And the desert, all I desire.”
