00:00:54 Oh, I don't know
00:01:56 and his mistrust, which is a terrifying thing?
00:02:48 Yes, it is. As Christians say, "the father of lies."
00:03:50 Never.
00:04:44 St. John wrote, "For we believed in love," and that always prevails.
00:05:39 and it foreshadows the man
00:06:26 Sure, Valéry said Pascal wasted his time
00:07:23 As Leibniz said
00:08:13 shows that, in a way, you don't need Pascal.
00:09:00 But I was already in revolt against Pascal at that point.
00:09:57 In ceritain cases, I don't think it's the true severity of the Gospel

00:17:18 I accept this second stance of Pascal's completely.
00:18:26 We don't have the right to love, and yet we must.
00:19:19 All the same
00:20:16 because if a man were complete
00:21:13 We need to go back to Pascal's rationality
