Experience shows us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking together in the same direction.

Aimer, ce n’est pas se regarder l’un l’autre, c’est regarder ensemble dans la même direction.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Another quote originally in French

God is, or He is not. But to which side shall we incline? Reason can decide nothing here. There is an infinite chaos which separates us. A game is being played at the extremity of this infinite distance where heads or tails will turn up. What will you wager?... If you win, you win everything; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation that He is.

Blaise Pascal
