Quote from the Sunday Richmond Times-Dispatch

From an article related to the Lebron James saga:

"We are engaged in the age-old struggle between order and chaos. For all their limitations, the games we play nonetheless represent something of our attempt to organize the world in which we live.

Perhaps the growing fear that the world is only chance explains the current rage for order. But life is neither wholly determined nor wholly arbitrary. Men are neither completely free nor completely enslaved. We must contend with both contingencies and necessities. For all our striving, we shall never impose our will upon creation. We will never eliminate chance." - Mark Malvasi; teacher at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, VA.
