Summary

This quote suggests that knowledge can bring both wisdom and grief. The more one knows and understands, the more it can weigh heavy on their heart. Acquiring wisdom often comes with a realisation of the difficult truths of the world, leading to a deep sense of sorrow. Similarly, as knowledge grows, so does the awareness of the various troubles and complexities of life. Therefore, this quote highlights the potential emotional burden that can accompany the pursuit of knowledge and the understanding it brings.

All the evidence shows that God was actually quite a gambler

All the evidence shows that God was actually quite a gambler, and the universe is a great casino, where dice are thrown, and roulette wheels spin on every occasion.

Writing fiction is not a profession that leaves one well-disposed toward reading fiction. One starts out loving books and stories, and then one becomes jaded and increasingly hard to please.
