Famous quotes containing the words fixed and/or odds:
“The sky is silent too,
Hard as granite and as fixed as fate.”

“However great a man’s fear of life, suicide remains the courageous act, the clear- headed act of a mathematician. The suicide has judged by the laws of chance—so many odds against one that to live will be more miserable than to die. His sense of mathematics is greater than his sense of survival.”
—Graham Greene (1904–1991)
