“People who love only once in their lives are ... shallow people. What they call their loyalty, and their fidelity, I call either the lethargy of custom or their lack of imagination.

—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“God’s dice always have a lucky roll.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
“Intelligence and war are games, perhaps the only meaningful games left. If any player becomes too proficient, the game is threatened with termination.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
