The world began in hazard and will end in it. — © John Fowles
The world began in hazard and will end in it.
Hazard has conditioned us to live in hazard. All our pleasures are dependent on it. Even though I arrange for a pleasure, and look forward to it, my eventual enjoyment of it is still a matter of hazard. Wherever time passes, there is hazard.
God knows when the end of time will come, not some fanatic... The world will end someday, but the end of the world and the end of time are two different things.

Time began when you were born. It will end when you die.
I don't know when the end of the world is, but there are people that I speak to every night, the end of their world could be tomorrow because we don't know when life will end.
Consider in fact, a body of six hundred and fifty-eight miscellaneous persons, set to consult about "business," with twenty-seven millions, mostly fools, assiduously listening to them, and checking and criticising them.
