“It is best not to study too much on who gets what they deserve. It can lead to an overly complicated interpretation of God's personal attributes.”

“People "at the top" are eager to attribute their position to their own intellect, savvy, and hard work. The reality is much more complicated. Personal connections, family environment, and what appears to be plain luck determine how successful a person is. We are the product of three things- genetics, environment, and our personal choices- but two of these three factors we have no power over. We are not nearly as responsible for our success as our popular views of God and reality lead us to think.”

“Lucky : An idiot person with a punchable face who gets something what he doesn't deserve.”

“All knowledge that is about human society, and not about the natural world, is historical knowledge, and therefore rests upon judgment and interpretation. This is not to say that facts or data are nonexistent, but that facts get their importance from what is made of them in interpretation… for interpretations depend very much on who the interpreter is, who he or she is addressing, what his or her purpose is, at what historical moment the interpretation takes place.”

“There's no limit to how complicated things can get, on account of one thing always leading to another.”

“Fools are the only folk on the earth who can absolutely count on getting what they deserve.”
