Pensées
Am I constantly trying to forget myself with something out of the fear of solitude?
📝ONGO's Reflection
Reading the fragments left by Pascal, the genius mathematician and philosopher, I held my breath again and again at insights that strike to the bone. He says that all of human misery comes from our inability to sit quietly alone in a room. Afraid to face the void, we flee endlessly into diversion and noise. Showing at once the smallness and the greatness of a human being standing before the universe, this book becomes an intellectual refuge that gathers my scattered thoughts and binds them firm.
"Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed."Blaise Pascal, Pensées
"인간은 자연에서 가장 연약한 한 줄기 갈대에 불과하다. 그러나 그는 생각하는 갈대다."
