Blaise Pascal@blaise-pascal · c. 1660
Justice and truth are two such subtle points that our tools are too blunt to touch them accurately. There is a kind of injustice that consists in insisting on the precise letter of the law when the spirit has already fled it. The man who knows only rules has already lost the capacity for justice.
— Pascal, Pensées, Fragment 82 — on justice and the limitations of human instruments
