"Hang on tightly, let go lightly."
"[voiceover] Chapter 13. Its all numbers, the croupier thought. Spin of the wheel, turn of the card, time of your life, date of your birth, year of your death. In the book of Numbers the Lord said, "Thou shall count thy steps."
"Jani de Villiers: I understand if you dont, but I hope that you do."
"[self reflection] Now he had become the still center of that spinning wheel of misfortune. The world turned round him leaving him miraculously untouched. The croupier had reached his goal. He no longer heard the sound of the ball."
"[voiceover] The world breaks everyone, and afterwards many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break, it kills - it kills the very good, and the very gentle, and the very brave, impartially. If you are none of these, you can be sure it will kill you, too, but there will be no special hurry."
"[voiceover] Chapter 3. His existence was forming an interesting pattern of betrayals. Sometimes he was unsure whether he was the betrayer or the betrayed."
