Quote by Blaise Pascal

Atheism shows strength of mind, but only to a certain degree.

Atheism shows strength of mind, but only to a certain degree

Summary

This quote suggests that atheism demonstrates a certain level of intellectual strength, but it has its limitations. While rejecting the existence of a higher being can showcase independent thinking, it implies that there may be a limit to the intellectual rigor imposed by complete atheism. This could imply that acknowledging the possibility of something beyond what is comprehensible might require a different kind of strength or open-mindedness. Thus, the quote proposes that atheism displays mental strength up to a certain extent, but beyond that, other perspectives might be necessary for deeper understanding.

End-of-the-world stories tend to ring true. I've always been drawn to them, but as I wrote my own, I found surprising pleasure in creating a world that is so radically changed, yet where there's so much meaning and value in every small and ordinary thing we have, and take for granted: hot showers, enough food, friends, routines.

But the voice of anatomy, like the voice of all nature, never reaches the mental ear of the Great Commoner. It is the novel province of anatomy to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about the structure, the origin and the history of man.

I wake up in the morning and I see that flower, with the dew on its petals, and at the way it's folding out, and it makes me happy, she said. It's important to focus on the things in the here and now, I think. In a month, the flower will be shriveled and you will miss its beauty if you don't make the effort to do it now. Your life, eventually, is the same way.
