“As those who have seen Jurassic Park will know, this means a tiny disturbance in one place, can cause a major change in another.

“Life is chaotic and unpredictable. If a butterfly flaps its wings in one part of the world, it could cause people at the opposite end of the globe to watch a Discovery Channel special on butterflies”

“I have noticed that even those who assert that everything is predestined and that we can change nothing about it still look both ways before they cross the street.”
