“Oh, he did his best to make their short lives miserable, because that was his job, but nothing he could think up was half as bad as the stuff they thought up themselves. They seemed to have a talent for it. It was built into the design, somehow. They were born into a world that was against them in a thousand little ways, and then devoted most of their energies to making it worse.”

And bye the border of Ephraim, from the east fide even untoe the west fide, a portion for Reuben.* * The Buggre Alle This Bible was also noteworthy for having twenty-seven verses in the third chapter of Genesis, instead of the more usual twenty-four. They followed verse 24, which in the King James version reads: "So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life," and read: 25 And the Lord spake unto the Angel that guarded the eastern gate, saying Where is the flaming sword which was given unto thee? 26 And the Angel said, I had it here only a moment ago, I must have put it down some where, forget my head next. 27 And the Lord did not ask him again.”

Бог играет со Вселенной вовсе не в кости, нет, Он ведет непостижимую игру собственного изобретения, с точки зрения остальных игроков, больше всего похожую на очень сложный и запутанный вариант покера, причем, партия разыгрывается в совершенно темной комнате, на картах нет ни одной картинки, ставки бесконечно велики, а правила известны только Раздающему, который все время улыбается.”

“Стоит тебе вообразить, будто стоишь на вершине мира, как вдруг - вот тебе, бабушка, и Армагедон. Великая война, Последняя битва. Рай против Ада, три раунда, одно Падение, апелляции не принимаются. И все, приехали. Конец света. Иначе говоря, конец мира. Мир закончится, и останутся лишь вечные Небеса или, если выиграет другая сторона, вечный Ад. Еще неизвестно, что хуже.”
