Excerpt from Œuvres Complètes de Blaise Pascal, Vol. 1
Pour résumer l'impression que fait éprouver la lecture des travaux mathématiques de Pascal il nous semble que si l'on ne peut trop ad mirer tout ce qu'il a fallu de pénétration et de puissance d'esprit pour les produire, l'on ne peut en même temps se défendre d'un profond regret en songeant à tout ce que ce puissant génie aurait produit encore s'il avait consenti à ne pas se dédaigner lui - même.
