Nature is an infinite sphere, whose center is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere is a dictum by Blaise Pascal from his Pensées.
- [l'univers :] c'est une sphère infinie dont le centre est partout, la circonférence nulle part.[1]
- The definition of God as 'an infinite sphere, whose centre is everywhere and whose circumference is nowhere' has its roots in the Liber XXIV philosophorum, a Latin booklet by an anonymous author, which consists of 24 commented definitions of what God is. It has been ascribed to the fourth-century grammarian and philosopher Marius Victorinus, but the earliest extant manuscript dates back to the beginning of the thirteenth century.
