Dice

What else might the dice dictate? Well, that I stop writing silly psychoanalytic articles ; that I sell all my stock, or buy all I could afford ; that I make love to Arlene in our double bed while my wife slept on the other side ; that I take a trip to San Francisco, Hawaii, Peking ; that I bluff every time when playing poker; that I give up my home, my friends, my profession. After giving up my psychiatric practice I might become a college professor … a stockbroker … a real estate salesman … Zen master … used-car salesman … travel agent …elevator man. My choice of profession seemed suddenly infinite."--The Dice Man (1971) by Luke Rhinehart |
