    "From the prince’s baccarat and Monte Carlo’s roulette and trente-et-quarante, to the soldier’s crown and anchor and the errand boy’s pitch and toss, it is a history of stakes lost, relieved by incidents of irrational acquisition. It is a history of landslides in an account book. It is a pattern of slithering cards, dancing dice, spinning roulette wheels, coloured counters and scribbled computations on a background of green baize. It is a world parasitic on the general economic organization-fungoid and aimless, rather than cancerous and destructive, in its character. A stronger, happier organization would reabsorb it or slough it off altogether."


    H.G. Wells The Work, Wealth and Happiness of Mankind

    …a mathematician from Trinity
    who took square roots of infinity.
    But because of the strain
    That it put on his brain,
    chucked math and took up divinity.
