Dice/probability

Famous quotes containing the words dice and/or probability:

“Often beneath the wave, wide from this ledge
The dice of drowned men’s bones he saw bequeath
An embassy.”
—Hart Crane (1899–1932)

“Crushed to earth and rising again is an author’s gymnastic. Once he fails to struggle to his feet and grab his pen, he will contemplate a fact he should never permit himself to face: that in all probability books have been written, are being written, will be written, better than anything he has done, is doing, or will do.”
—Fannie Hurst (1889–1968)
