00:08What is man?
00:10A thinking reed.
00:13But even if the universe crushes him, man would still be nobler than that in which he perishes,
00:18because he knows that he dies and the advantage which the universe has over him.
00:23The universe knows nothing of this.

01:57If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him.
02:02Blaise Pascal
02:06The last step of reason is to recognize that there are an infinite number of things which are beyond its
02:12reach.
02:13Blaise Pascal

02:55We are so foolish that we have not only forgotten God, but have lost the sense of our own misery.
03:07Blaise Pascal
