Oh, well! If nothing is left but the understanding, that means the beginning of the end.
AMADEUS
Those are—chances that every human being must resign himself to take.
ALBERT

AMADEUS
Who can be perfectly sure of himself or of anybody else? We two, at any rate, are not challenging fate by feeling too secure.
ALBERT
Oh, when it comes to that, my dear fellow—fate always regards itself challenged—by doubt no less than by confidence.
