Quote by Blaise Pascal

The heart has reasons that reason cannot know.

The heart has reasons that reason cannot know.

Summary

This quote, famously said by French philosopher Blaise Pascal, suggests that the human heart operates on a level beyond rational understanding. It implies that emotions and desires guide us in ways that defy logical explanation. While reason may analyze and make logical decisions based on facts and evidence, the heartâ€™s path is intangible, driven by deep-seated motives and passions that escape rational comprehension. This quote encourages an acknowledgment of the profound influence our emotions have on our choices and actions, encouraging us to consider the limits of reason when it comes to understanding the complexities of the human heart.

No doubt it must in some measure, but there is another cause.I believe that in these days we have too many occupations, too many interests; we know too many things, and, if you will, have too many advantages and facilities. Our faculty of taking an interest is dissipated and frittered away.

Twenty or thirty years ago, in the army, we had a lot of obscure adventures, and years later we tell them at parties, and suddenly we realize that those two very difficult years of our lives have become lumped together into a few episodes that have lodged in our memory in a standardized form, and are always told in a standardized way, in the same words. But in fact that lump of memories has nothing whatsoever to do with our experience of those two years in the army and what it has made of us.
