Quote by Blaise Pascal

Nature has made all her truths independent of one another. Our art makes one dependent on the other. But this is not natural. Each keeps its own place.

Nature has made all her truths independent of one another. O

Summary

This quote highlights the contrast between nature and art. It suggests that in nature, truths or elements exist independently, with each having its own distinct place and role. In contrast, art tends to create interdependencies and relationships between different truths or elements. The quote argues that this interdependence imposed by art is not aligned with the natural state, where things are separate and self-contained. It implies that art can sometimes manipulate or alter the natural order of things by connecting them in ways that may not naturally coexist.

He was, first and last, the born fighter, to whom the consciousness of being matched against a great adversary suffices and who can dispense with success. Life for him was an adventure, perilous indeed, but men are not made for safe havens. The fullness of life is in the hazards of life. And, at the worst, there is that in us which can turn defeat into victory.

I do not want a plain box, I want a sarcophagus With tigery stripes, and a face on itRound as the moon, to stare up. I want to be looking at them when they comePicking among the dumb minerals, the roots. I see them already-the pale, star-distance faces. Now they are nothing, they are not even babies. I imagine them without fathers or mothers, like the first gods.They will wonder if I was important.
