The Decagon House Murders

High Fidelity

No matter how hard he tries, no matter what he might think, Man will always be mere man, and never a god. And how could anyone who was not a god predict the future, shaped as it was by human psychology, human behaviour and pure chance?

It’s not just about being smart or stupid. On that measure, there’s no one on the face of the earth who doesn’t possess at least a modicum of intelligence. Similarly, there’s no one on the face of the earth who doesn’t enjoy games. What I’m talking about is an ability to play while maintaining an intellectual approach.”
