“Pascal’s favourite philosopher, St. Augustine, put it this way in the most famous Christian line outside Scripture: ‘Thou hast made us for Thyself, and (therefore) our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee’ (Confessions I, i, 2). A shark cannot stop swimming and hunting and eating. It is a perpetual motion machine. If its proper food is not available, it will eat anything, even empty metal containers. St. Thomas says: ‘Man cannot live without joy. That is why it is necessary that a man deprived of spiritual joys goes over into carnal pleasures.’”
