"The foundations of great events are often remotely laid in very capricious and un-calculated passions, motives, or impulses. Chance has usually as much to do with the fortunes of states, as with those of individuals; or, if there be any calculations connected with them at all , they are the calculations of a power superior to any that exists in man."
James Fenimore Cooper(1789-1851), in his preface to Satanstoe.
