Quote by Blaise Pascal

Memory, joy, are intuitions; and even mathematical propositions become intuitions, for education produces natural intuitions, and natural intuitions are erased by education.


Memory, joy, are intuitions; and even mathematical propositi

Summary

This quote suggests that memory and joy are instinctive feelings, and that even abstract concepts like mathematical propositions can be understood or felt intuitively. However, formal education can diminish natural intuitions by replacing them with learned knowledge and structured thinking. The quote highlights the idea that education, while important, can sometimes hinder our innate intuitive understanding of the world.
