― Blaise Pascal, Pensées

“Whenever possible Chesterton made his points with popular sayings, proverbs, allegories—first carefully turning them inside out.”
― G.K. Chesterton, The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare

“We make an idol of truth itself, for truth apart from charity is not God, but his image and an idol that we must not love or worship.”
― Blaise Pascal, Pensées
