Pensées — Blaise Pascal

But we know at the same time our wretchedness; for this God is none other than the Saviour of our wretchedness. So we can only know God well by knowing our iniquities. Therefore those who have known God, without knowing their wretchedness, have not glorified Him, but have glorified themselves. _Quia ... non cognovit per sapientiam ... placuit Deo per stultitiam prædicationis salvos facere._[201]
