Heads South

Famous quotes containing the words heads and/or south:

“Let us then examine this point, and say, “God is, or he is not.” But to which side shall we incline? Reason can decide nothing here. There is an infinite chaos which separates us. A game is being played at the extremity of this infinite distance where heads or tails will turn up. What will you wager?”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

“There are two places in the world where men can most effectively disappear—the city of London and the South Seas.”
