Quote by Blaise Pascal

The finite is annihilated in the presence of the infinite, and becomes a pure nothing. So our spirit before God, so our justice before divine justice.

Summary

This quote suggests that when finite things encounter the infinite, they are completely diminished and transformed into nothingness. The same applies to our spirit when faced with the presence of God, and our concept of justice when compared to divine justice. It highlights the vast difference and power imbalance between the limited nature of human existence and the boundless nature of the divine.

It's like those eerie stories nurses tell,Of how some actor on a stage played Death,With pasteboard crown, sham orb and tinselled dart,And called himself the monarch of the world;Then, going in the tire-room afterward,Because the play was done, to shift himself,Got touched upon the sleeve familiarly,The moment he had shut the closet door,By Death himself. Thus God might touch a PopeAt unawares, ask what his baubles mean,And whose part he presumed to play just now.Best be yourself, imperial, plain and true!
