“When I consider the brief span of my life absorbed into the eternity which precedes and will succeed it... the small space I occupy and which I see swallowed up in the infinite immensity of spaces of which I know nothing and which know nothing of me, I take fright and am amazed to see myself here rather than there: there is no reason for me to be here rather than there, now rather than then.”
― Blaise Pascal
