Quote by Blaise Pascal

There are two kinds of people one can call reasonable: those who serve God with all their heart because they know him, and those who seek him with all their heart because they do not know him.

There are two kinds of people one can call reasonable: those

Summary

This quote suggests that being reasonable can be attributed to two types of people. The first type includes those who have a deep understanding of God and wholeheartedly devote themselves to serving Him. The second type consists of those who, lacking knowledge or familiarity with God, actively seek to discover Him with a wholehearted commitment. In both cases, reasonability stems from different paths taken towards pursuing a connection with the divine.

Any perception can connect us to reality properly and fully. What we see doesn't have to be pretty, particularly; we can appreciate anything that exists. There is some principle of magic in everything, some living quality. Something living, something real, is taking place in everything.

We can love with all our hearts those in whom we recognize great faults. It would be impertinent to believe that perfection alone has the right to please us; sometimes our weaknesses attach us to each other as much as our virtues.
