Tattoo

This is a quote that I have really taken to... It will likely be my next tattoo, though it's long I can't seem to part with any portion of it...so i'm going to make it work... the author is Blaise Pascal:

We sail within a vast sphere, ever drifting in uncertainty, driven from end to end. When we think to attach ourselves to any point and to fasten to it, it wavers and leaves us; and if we follow it, it eludes our graps, slips past us and vanishes forever. Nothing stays for us. This is our natural condition and yet most contrary to our inclination; we burn with desire to find solid ground and an ultimate sure foundation whereon to build a tower reaching to the Infinite. But our whole groundwork cracks and the earth opens to abysses...
