Isaac Bloom and Edmund Reid in “Unfinished Business”

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.

On that I would agree with him.

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

A little.

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?

No.

Then perhaps you are a man of faith after all.
