ON GOD AND DICE

God's dice always have a lucky roll.
---SOPHOCLES (c.496-406 BCE)

The devil invented dice.
---ST. AUGUSTINE (354-430 CE)

The dice of God are always loaded.
---RALPH WALDO EMERSON (1803-82)

God does not play dice with the Universe.
---ALBERT EINSTEIN (1879-1955), objecting to quantum theory


Poetry is a comforting piece of fiction set to more or less lascivious music.
H.L. Mencken (1880-1956)
