"Men often take their imagination for their heart; and they believe they are converted as soon as they think of being converted."

     Blaise Pascal, Pensée 275 Brunschvicg =Faugère I, 229, CLXX / Havet XXIV.51 / Le Guern 756 / Lafuma 975 / Sellier 739, trans. Trotter:

Les hommes prennent souvent leur imagination pour leur cœur et ils croient être convertis dès qu’ils pensent à se convertir.

Cf. also Bossuet.

    Wow, this is a powerful quote. It is a reminder that belief is far more than something ethereal.
