Everyone is a genius at least once a year. The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas closer together.
-Georg C. Lichtenberg.
And
Everyone’s life is similar, an accumulation of chances and random occurrences producing outcomes no-one expected. Which explanation of events is true?
Tom Stoppard’s,
Life is a gamble, at terrible odds-if it was a bet you wouldn’t take it.
or Shakespeare’s?
There’s a divinity that shapes our ends,
Rough-hew them how we will.
Faith suggests Shakespeare has got it right; free will means Stoppard has to be true.
