Todos los problemas de la humanidad parten de la incapacidad humana de sentarse calmado en una habitación. - Blaise Pascal

Since we cannot know all there is to be known about anything, we ought to know a little about everything.

The eternal silence of these infinite spaces fills me with dread.

"Why are we not angry if we are told that we have a headache, and why are we angry if we are told that we reason badly, or choose wrongly?" The reason is that we are quite certain that we have not a headache, or are not lame, but we are not so sure that we make a true choice. So having assurance only because we see with our whole sight, it puts us into suspense and surprise when another with his whole sight sees the opposite, and still more so when a thousand others deride our choice. For we must prefer our own lights to those of so many others, and that is bold and difficult.
