41 Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don’t find out til too late that he’s been playing with two queens all along.

42 Pets are always a help in times of stress. And in times of starvation, too, of course.

43 Captain Quirke was not actually a bad man; he didn’t have the imagination; but he dealt more in the generalised low-grade unpleasantness which slightly tarnishes the soul of all who come into contact with it – rather like British Rail.

44 Goodness is about what you do. Not what you pray to.

45 The intelligence of that creature known as a crowd is the square root of the number of people in it.

46 They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it’s not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.

47 Time is a drug. Too much of it kills you.

48 It occurred to me that at one point it was like I had two diseases – one was Alzheimer’s, and the other was knowing I had Alzheimer’s.

49 I commend my soul to any God that can find it.

50 So much universe, and so little time.
