FAVORITE QUOTE

“It is in vain, O men, that you seek within yourselves the cure of all your miseries. All your insight only leads you to the knowledge that it is not in yourselves that you will discover the true and the good. The philosophers promised them to you, and have not been able to keep their promise because they do not know what your true nature is or what your true good is."

Blaise Pascal
