"Each of us is a kind of crossroads where things happen. The crossroads is purely passive; something happens there. A different thing, equally valid, happens elsewhere. There is no choice, it is just a matter of chance." - Claude Lévi-Strauss
"Two paradoxes are better than one; they may even suggest a solution." - Edward Teller
