“Do anything but love; or if thou lovest and art a woman, hide thy love from him whom thou dost worship; never let him know how dear he is; flit like a bird before him; lead him from tree to tree, from flower to flower; but be not won, or thou wilt, like that bird, when caught and caged, be left to pine neglected and perish in forgetfulness.” IfsKnowsLoveArtLeftKnow HowTreeFlowerWorshipBirdDearCaughtNeglectedForgetfulnessCaged Author:Letitia Elizabeth Landon
“According to the doctrine of chance, you ought to put yourself to the trouble of searching for the truth; for if you die without worshiping the True Cause, you are lost.

Seek them, therefore; it is well worth it.” IfsWellsDoneDiesLostLeftCausesChanceTroubleOughtWorshipDoctrineNeglectWorth It Book:Pascal's Pensees Source: Pascal's Pensees
