「Pensées」 Blaise Pascal

ScientistFR1623 — 1662

French mathematician, physicist, and philosopher. Laid the foundations of probability theory and fluid mechanics, and explored human existence through Pensées.

Though the weakest plant reed before the universe, humans simply quietly transcend all this frail wretchedness by thinking deeply.

Quote

Though the weakest plant reed before the universe, humans simply quietly transcend all this frail wretchedness by thinking deeply.

Greeting

Man is but a reed, the weakest in nature — but a thinking reed.
Had Cleopatra's nose been a little shorter, the whole face of the world would have changed.
The eternal silence of these infinite spaces fills me with dread.

Roll Call

The gears of the Pascaline have meshed.
The calculation of probability is complete.
The wager with God is ready.

Deploy

Crush them with the pressure of the vacuum!
Unfold the triangle of probability!
Pierce the universe with the thought of a reed!

Victory

Our dignity lies solely in thought.
I proved Torricelli's vacuum atop the mountain.
The heart has its reasons which reason knows not.

Draw

As habit is second nature, so too does this stalemate hold meaning.
Man stands between the infinite and the void.
Probability says fifty-fifty.

Defeat

Thirty-nine years of suffering have at last grown heavy.
The spirit of geometry could not overcome the spirit of finesse.
I wrote the Pensées through migraines and stomach pains — was it not enough?

Strike

Crush with the force of atmospheric pressure!
Strike at the apex of the triangle!
Swallow into the void of the vacuum!

Overview

Top-tier intellect combined with diligence but extreme religious asceticism destroyed the body, resulting in death at 39 in a tragic structure. High reflection led to deep inquiry in both mathematics and theology, while low temperance and pessimistic disposition manifested as a self-abusive lifestyle.
