“The trouble is people leave too much to luck. They get married and then trust to luck. They should be sure in the first place.”

“Writing is like getting married. One should never commit oneself until one is amazed at one's luck.”

“Life is full of luck, like getting dealt a good hand, or simply by being in the right place at the right time. Some people get luck handed to them, a second chance, a save. It can happen heroically, or by a simple coincidence , but there are those who don’t get luck on a shiny platter, who end up in the wrong place at the wrong time, who don’t get saved.”

“I think we consider too much the luck of the early bird and not enough the bad luck of the early worm.”

“The groom should not see you in the dress just before the wedding, that’s bad luck. You know what’s worst luck? Is getting married, itself. I’ve read studies. It’s like 2 out of 3 of those end in divorce, sometimes more. 3 out of 2, some.”

“Sure, luck means a lot in football. Not having a good quarterback is bad luck.”
