Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature; but he is a thinking reed. - Blaise Pascal

There is enough light to enlighten the elect and enough obscurity to humiliate them. There is enough obscurity to blind the reprobate and enough light to condemn them and deprive them of excuse.

Nature is an infinite sphere whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere.

Imagination magnifies small objects with fantastic exaggeration until they fill our soul, and with bold insolence cuts down great things to its own size, as when speaking of God.
