« Le cœur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît point »Some people have words they so loved, they want them on their gravestone. Often, it is a Bible verse; but there are thoughts of writers expressed in philosophical or poetic words.
"The heart has its reasons which reason does not know"
—Pensées, Blaise Pascal
«l'amor che move il sole e l'altre stelle»
"The love that moves the sun and the other stars"
—(Paradiso, XXXIII, v. 145), last verse of Divine Comedy, Dante Alighieri
« On ne voit bien qu'avec le cœur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux. »
"One sees clearly only with the heart. What is essential is invisible to the eye."
—"Le petit prince", Antoine de Saint Exupéry
There is a bench by Wade Pond with the same words. [click]"In the depth of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer"—Return to Tipasa (1952), Albert Camus
and some are humourous:
"If we knew what we were doing it wouldn't be called research"
"If we knew what we were doing it wouldn't be called research"
