Knowing or Seeking vs. Not Bothering

“There are only two classes of persons who can be called reasonable: those who serve God with all their heart because they know him, and those who seek him with all their heart because they do not know him. As for those who live without either knowing or seeking him, they consider it so little worth while to take trouble over themselves...[that] it takes all the charity of that religion they despise not to despise them to the point of abandoning them to their folly.”

“Thus our chief interest and chief duty is to seek enlightenment on this subject, on which all our conduct depends. And that is why, amongst those who are not convinced, I make an absolute distinction between those who strive with all their might to learn, and those who live without troubling themselves or thinking about it.”
~Blaise Pascal
