Pensees

by Blaise Pascal, New Century Books (Editor)

Overview

1. The difference between the mathematical and the intuitive mind.--In
the one, the principles are palpable, but removed from ordinary use; so
that for want of habit it is difficult to turn one's mind in that
direction: but if one turns it thither ever so little, one sees the
principles fully, and one must have a quite inaccurate mind who reasons
wrongly from principles so plain that it is almost impossible they
should escape notice.
