Quote of the Day
“People almost invariably arrive at their beliefs not on the basis of proof but on the basis of what they find attractive.”
― Blaise Pascal, De l'art de persuader
Blaise Pascal was a French mathematician, physicist, inventor, philosopher, writer and Catholic theologian. Yet, in literature, Pascal is regarded as one of the most important authors of the French Classical Period and is read today as one of the greatest masters of French prose. His use of satire and wit influenced later polemicists.
