Quotes 

• [last lines] 

  Isaac Bloom : Joshua was right. Justice has become a commodity. Is this the shadow of what is to be, Inspector? My brother used to say the future belongs to men of reason, not of faith.

  Detective Inspector Edmund Reid : On that I would agree with him.

  Isaac Bloom : And mathematics tells us something different. The entropy of the universe tends to a maximum. You understand?

  Detective Inspector Edmund Reid : A little.

  Isaac Bloom : Disorder, Inspector. Everything from the smallest system to our entire world moves always, irretrievably, from order into chaos. And there is nothing to be done about it. Do you share that belief?

  Detective Inspector Edmund Reid : No.

  Isaac Bloom : Then perhaps you are a man of faith after all.

• Isaac Bloom : Galileo said mathematics was the language which God has written the universe. I seek the hidden words. You might term it a kind of detective work.

  Detective Inspector Edmund Reid : In my detective work I find little evidence of God.

  Isaac Bloom : But you seek order in all things, Inspector. The notion of meaningless chaos is abhorrent to you.
