French mathematician, physicist
| “ | Clarity of mind means clarity of passion, too; this is why a great and clear mind loves ardently and sees distinctly what it loves.
| ” |
| “ | Contradiction is not a sign of falsity, nor the lack of contradiction a sign of truth. | ” |
| “ | I have discovered that all human evil comes from this, man's being unable to sit still in a room.
| ” |
| “ | If all men knew what each said of the other, there would not be four friends in the world. | ” |
| “ | Man is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness from which he emerges and the infinity in which he is engulfed. | ” |
| “ | Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from a religious conviction.
| ” |
| “ | One must know oneself, if this does not serve to discover truth, it at least serves as a rule of life and there is nothing better. | ” |
| “ | People are usually more convinced by reasons they discovered themselves than by those found by others. | ” |
| “ | Since we cannot know all that there is to be known about anything, we ought to know a little about everything. | ” |
| “ | The eternal silence of these infinite spaces fills me with dread.
| ” |
