Those are weaklings who know the truth and uphold it as long as it suits their purpose, and then abandon it.
Blaise PascalOur senses perceive no extreme. Too much sound deafens us; too much light dazzles us; too great distance or proximity hinders ourview. Too great length and too great brevity of discourse tends to obscurity; too much truth is paralyzing.... In short, extremes are for us as though they were not, and we are not within their notice. They escape us, or we them.
Blaise PascalWhat a chimera then is man. What a novelty! What a monster... what a contradiction, what a prodigy
Blaise Pascal
