This is one of the two great labyrinths into which human minds are drawn: the question of free will versus predestination.

Quicksilver (2003)

Fame's a weed, but repute is a slow-growing oak, and all we can do during our lifetimes is hop around like squirrels and plant acorns.

Quicksilver (2003)

"You mentioned . . . one of the two great labyrinths into which the mind is drawn. What . . . is the other?"
"The other is the composition of the continuum, or: what is space?"

Quicksilver (2003)
