But if the universe were to crush him, man would still be nobler than that which killed him, because he knows that he dies and the advantage which the universe has over him; the universe knows nothing of this.”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

“There is always a period when a man with a beard shaves it off. This period does not last. He returns headlong to his beard.”
