Found this word ‘Pensées’ in a book that I am currently reading. It is French for ‘thoughts’. It is the name of a book published posthumously in 1670 by Blaise Pascal, the famous French mathematician, physicist and inventor. The book consists of ideas and jottings of Pascal, who was preparing for any apology for Christianity.
There are some gems in the book, for e.g., “All of humanity’s problems stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone. “, “Curiosity is only vanity. We usually only want to know something so that we can talk about it. “
Kind of reminds me of The Big Bang Theory’s creator Chuck Lorre famous trademark vanity cards, which usually reads like an editorial, essay or observation on life.
Anyway the main point of this post is that I am hoping I can start writing more Pensées here instead of leaving this blog empty for so long.
P.S Is it only me or does anyone else thinks the word Pensées looks like the word Penis?
