- Satta, Salvatore

To speak of God, to think of God, is in every respect to show what one is made of. I have always wagered against God and I regard the little that I have won in this world as simply the outcome of this bet.

Everything that is doddering, squint-eyed, vile, polluted and grotesque is summoned up for me in that one word: God!
