Life

‘When I consider the short span of my life absorbed into the preceding and subsequent eternity … the small space which I fill and even can see, swallowed up in the infinite immensity of space of which I know nothing and which know nothing of me, I am terrified, and surprised to find myself here rather than there, for there is no reason why it should be here rather than there, why now rather than then. Who put me here? On whose orders and on whose decision have this place and time been allotted to me?’ – Blaise Pascal more
