Did Blaise Pascal say “The heart has its reasons, which reason does not know”?

Found word for word. Yes. The text appears in works attributed to Blaise Pascal. Source and location below.

The heart has its reasons, which reason does not know. We feel it in a thousand things. I say that the heart naturally loves the Universal Being, and also itself naturally, according as it gives itself to them; and it hardens itself against one or the other at its will. You have rejected the one, and kept the other. Is it by reason that you love yourself?
