“We run heedlessly into the abyss after putting something in front of us to stop us seeing it.”
― Blaise Pascal, Pensées

“A trifle consoles us, for a trifle distresses us.”
― Blaise Pascal, Pensées

“Each man is everything to himself, for with his death everything is dead for him. That is why each of us thinks he is everything to everyone. We must not judge nature by ourselves, but by its own standards.”
― Blaise Pascal, Pensées

“I have no duty to be anyone's Friend and no man in the world has a duty to be mine. No claims, no shadow of necessity. Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art, like the universe itself (for God did not need to create). It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves
