A trifle consoles us, for a trifle distresses us. - Blaise Pascal

God wishes to move the will rather than the mind. Perfect clarity would help the mind and harm the will. Humble their pride.

We know the existence of the infinite without knowing its nature, because it too has extension but unlike us no limits.
But we do not know either the existence or the nature of God, because he has neither extension nor limits.

Fascinatio nugacitatis -
Pentru ca patima să nu ne vatăme, să trăim ca şi cum n-am avea decât opt zile de trăit.
