About This Quote
This quote is by French philosopher Blaise Pascal, and it refers to the theory of the “slow pace of evil.” He believes that evil is more likely to come about through subtle, slow methods than it is through sudden, dramatic ones. By this theory, we may not see evil coming until it has already been at work for a long time, and then we may not notice that we were ever in any danger at all.
