Nothing strengthens the case for scepticism more than the fact that there are people who are not sceptics. If they all were, they would be wrong. - Blaise Pascal

All our reasoning comes down to surrendering to feeling.

I do not speak here of divine truths... because they are infinitely superior to nature: God alone can place them in the soul... I know that he has desired that they should enter from the heart into the mind, and not from the mind into the heart, to humiliate that proud power of reasoning that pretends to the right to be the judge of the things that the will chooses; and to cure this infirm will which is wholly corrupted by its filthy attachments.

Eloquence is a painting of thought; and thus those who, after having painted it, add something more, make a picture instead of a portrait.
