“Not only does God play dice with the world—He does not let us see what He has rolled.”
Imaginary Magnitude" (1981), "Lecture XLIII", tr. Marc E. Heine (1984)
“Now let us see what he can do with it. Let us see if, under easier conditions, he is able to build the planetary paradise he has always desired, or will abuse his new leisure to the destruction of his soul. Let us see if godly power will make him a little more godlike.”
