“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 [i.e. everybody], 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.”
― Terry Pratchett, Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch

I've never read the book just liked the quote! The only book by Pratchett I've read is Small Gods. It was so good and funny that I'm looking forward to reading others. Pratchett was a smart and clever writer!

@RhondaShotwell I love Pratchett’s writing. Good Omens was written with Neil Gaiman and I think the two writers were wonderful together. Great quote!
