Human beings are so inevitably fools that it would
be foolish in another way not to be one.
(Blaise Pascal)
This human “foolishness” is given another, very characteristic
name in Pascal’s works. This is “divertissement,”
“amusements,” which for him means not only
games and pastimes, but also thousands of other
things that are considered serious, to which we devote
our time in order to be able to escape from the one
important occupation we do not want engage in. (Franz West)
