Not only does God play dice, but... he sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.

• The radiation left over from the Big Bang is the same as that in your microwave oven but very much less powerful. It would heat your pizza only to minus 271.3*C - not much good for defrosting the pizza, let alone cooking it.
• Most sets of values would give rise to universes that, although they might be very beautiful, would contain no one able to wonder at that beauty.
• I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.

• I'm not afraid of death, but I'm in no hurry to die. I have so much I want to do first.
• My work and my family are very important to me.
