As we know,
There are known knowns.
There are things we know we know.
We also know
There are known unknowns.

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, to being involved in an obscure and complex variant 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.

Quizá soy persona de excepcional condición. No sé hasta qué punto experimentan los otros hombres lo que yo. A veces padezco extraños alejamientos de mí mismo y de lo que me rodea.
