Blaise Pascal died today – 345 years ago

French mathematician Blaise Pascal was born on June 19, 1623 in Clermont-Ferrand, France. He said, “All human evil comes from a single cause, man's inability to sit still in a room." [So it’s from the lack of contentment? Hmmmm.]... Mr. Pascal died in 1662 in Paris, France.

Spanish writer Federico Garcia Lorca was born on June 5, 1898 in Fuente Vaqueros, Granada, Spain. He said, “In Spain, the dead are more alive than the dead of any other country in the world." [I get it.]... Mr. Lorca died in 1936 in Granada.
