| Quotation | Pascal is my kind. The [Romano] Guardini work on him [Pascal for Our Time (New York, 1966)] is fine - one of G.'s best, at least for me. Whole thing so full of ideas they rush in from all sides and I have to stop and walk around. Yes, I know, the world is full of people who will want me to know that my reading of Pascal is vicious - like taking LSD. Fatal pessimism and all that. Jansenism. |
