If I saw no signs of a divinity, I would fix myself in denial. If I saw everywhere the marks of a Creator,
I would repose peacefully in faith. But seeing too much to deny Him, and too little to assure me,
I am in a pitiful state, and I would wish a hundred times that if a God sustains nature
it would reveal Him without ambiguity. (Pensees 229)
We understand nothing of the works of God unless we take it as a principle
that He wishes to blind some and to enlighten others. (Pensees 565)
