Famous quotes containing the words played and/or marimba:
“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)
“One can smell it turning to gas; if one were Baudelaire
one could probably hear it turning to marimba music.”
