lots quotes

   They pierced my hands and my feet. I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me. They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.

-Bible (Old Testament)
Psalms 22:16^18.

   Any one watching keenly the stealthy convergence of human lots, sees a slow preparation of effects from one life on another, which tells like a calculated irony on the indifference or the frozen stare with which we look at our unintroduced neighbour.

- George pseudonym of  MaryAnn Evans Eliot
^2  Middlemarch, bk.1, ch.11.
