Did Blaise Pascal say “The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of”?

Found with small differences. Found almost word for word in works attributed to Blaise Pascal. Compare with the original 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?
