#BlaisePascal

“The prodigy who built a calculating machine at nineteen and co-invented probability theory turned all that precision onto the human heart — and left behind not a finished system but fragments, the ruins of a cathedral he never got to build.”

“A human being is a contradiction — a speck lost between two infinities, yet the only thing in the universe that knows it — and no philosophy is honest unless it explains both our greatness and our misery.”
