Williams Played

Famous quotes containing the words williams and/or played:

    What is more pretentiously
    useless
    or about which
    we more pride ourselves?
    It leads as often as not
    to our undoing.
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)

    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)
