"Man is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness from which he emerges and the infinity in which he is enveloped." Blaise Pascal Pascal is a French surname that resonates in my mind since I was studying algebra at university. He was not only a genius mathematician and physicist, but he was also a renowned philosopher and theologian in the 17th century who contributed some of the foundations for the formation of existentialism. And today when I came across one of his thoughts in my random quotes I was perplexed. Infinity and nothingness are two realities inaccessible not only to the senses. Who has seen nothingness? Who has reached infinity? Even for Reason, it is a complete mystery. Concepts that are undeniably linked to God himself. In this sense, you may have heard about Pascal's wager. Well, it seems that this wise man's wager is a winning one for those who act accordingly. Undoubtedly, Pascal is a more than interesting character.
