"God does not play dice with the universe: he plays an ineffable game of his own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players (i.e., everyone else), to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time."

-from Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
