Blaise PascalWe run heedlessly into the abyss after putting something in front of us to stop us from seeing it.
Blaise PascalSince we cannot be universal and know all that is to be known of everything, we ought to know a little about everything. For it is far better to know something about everything than to know all about one thing. This universality is the best. If we can have both, still better; but if we must choose, we ought to choose the former.
Blaise Pascal
