• If I let my fingers wander idly over the keys of a typewriter it might happen that my screed made an intelligible sentence. If an army of monkeys were strumming on typewriters they might write all the books in the British Museum. The chance of their doing so is decidedly more favourable than the chance of the molecules returning to one half of the vessel.

• You try to sit down at approximately the same time every day. This is how you train your unconscious to kick in for you creatively. ... You put a piece of paper in the typewriter, or you turn on your computer and bring up the right file. ... You begin rocking, just a little at first, and then like a huge autistic child. ... Then your mental illnesses arrive at the desk like your sickest, most secretive relatives. And they pull up chairs in a semicircle around the computer, and they try to be quiet but you know they are there with their weird coppery breath, leering at you behind your back.

• Lo que nosotros, gracias a Jung, llamamos "sincronicidad" (coincidencia con esteroides), los budistas lo conocen desde hace tiempo como "interpenetración de realidades". Ya se trate de una especie de ley natural o simplemente de una prueba de inevitabilidad matemática (un número infinito de monos encerrados con un número infinito de máquinas de escribir acaban produciendo "Hamlet", por no hablar de "Tarzán de los monos"), parece ser tan real como espeluznante.
