The gods have fled, I know. My sense is the gods have always been essentially absent. I do not believe human beings have played games or sports from the beginning merely to summon or to please or to appease the gods.

You either get the point of Africa or you don't. What draws me back year after year is that it's like seeing the world with the lid off.

Med students panic their first year when they learn all the diseases. It's not until the second year that they learn the cures.
