About this Quote

This quote by Blaise Pascal speaks with the relationship between faith and the senses. Pascal is suggesting that faith does not oppose what the senses inform us, however rather it offers us with a greater understanding of the world. Faith gives us insight into the hidden, the intangible, and the spiritual. It is not a replacement for the senses, but rather an enhance to them. Faith can offer us with a much deeper understanding of the world and our location in it. It can assist us to make sense of the world and our experiences in it. Faith can supply us with a sense of purpose and significance, and can assist us to make sense of the world around us. Faith can also provide us with a sense of hope and optimism, even in the face of difficulty. Simply put, faith can supply us with a greater understanding of the world and our place in it, without contradicting what the senses tell us.
