“Probability is not a mere computation of odds on the dice or more complicated variants; it is the acceptance of the lack of certainty in our knowledge and the development of methods for dealing with our ignorance.”

—Nassim Nicholas Taleb

“The more intelligent you are, the less you think deterministically.

Probabilities and gradients are lenses of the wise. Absolutes and binaries are the blindfolds of the simpleton.”

—Ed Latimore

“Consider nothing impossible, then treat possibilities as probabilities.”

—Charles Dickens
