"The heart has its reasons, of which reason knows nothing"
—Blaise Pascal, Pensées
A thought for Valentine's Day, perhaps on the relationship between love and logic.
A second thought: I had no idea Blaise Pascal was more than a mathematician and scientist. It appears he had a whole final act before death where he attempted to use decision theory for a systematic defense of Christianity. He lived June 19, 1623–August 19, 1662.

I've always liked this quote. I didn't know that about him either!
