“...I dabble in causes and effects.”
“I don't like work like that. I am the silent partner. I work through events, I live on the sidelines, I dabble in causes and effects, I watch how the misbegotten creatures of this world live their lives.”
“There are hundreds of possible causes for every effect, and a hundred possible effects for every cause.”
“If goodness has causes, it is not goodness; if it has effects, a reward, it is not goodness either. So goodness is outside the chain of cause and effect.”
“I know only that a life without cause is a life without effect”
“I only know that a life without cause is a life without effect.”
