The sensibility of man to trifles, and his insensibility to great things, indicates a strange inversion.

Previous Quote
There is nothing so insupportable to man as to be in entire repose; without passion, occupation, amusement, or application. Then it is that he feels his own nothingness, isolation, insignificance, dependent nature, powerlessness, emptiness. Immediately there issue from his soul ennui, sadness, chagrin, vexation, despair.
- Blaise Pascal
