Blaise Pascal on philosophy

Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.

The heart has its reasons, of which the mind knows nothing.

Clarity of mind means clarity of passion, too; this is why a great and clear mind loves ardently and sees distinctly what it loves.

The unexamined life is not worth living.

Socrates470–399 BCThe Apology of Socrates (399 BC)

Love, while always forgiving of imperfections and mistakes, can never cease to will their removal.
