Pascal Extensions

Famous quotes containing the words pascal and/or extensions:

    What reason have they for saying that we cannot rise from the dead? What is more difficult, to be born, or to rise again—that what has never been should be, or that what has been should be again?
    —Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    The psychological umbilical cord is more difficult to cut than the real one. We experience our children as extensions of ourselves, and we feel as though their behavior is an expression of something within us...instead of an expression of something in them. We see in our children our own reflection, and when we don’t like what we see, we feel angry at the reflection.
    Elaine Heffner (20th century)
