Pensées — Blaise Pascal

_Good sense._--They are compelled to say, "You are not acting in good faith; we are not asleep," etc. How I love to see this proud reason humiliated and suppliant!

He is not foolish enough to declare that men are not acting in good faith, but he punishes this bad faith with force.
