“Intentions, good or bad, are not enough. There's luck or fate or something else that takes over...”

“Intention, good or bad, is not enough.”

“Sometimes before your luck can be good,someone else's has to be bad”

“There's always the same amount of good luck and bad luck in the world. If one person doesn't get the bad luck, somebody else will have to get it in their place. There's always the same amount of good and evil, too. We can't eradicate evil, we can only evict it, force it to move across town. And when evil moves, some good always goes with it. But we can never alter the ratio of good to evil. All we can do is keep things stirred up so neither good nor evil solidifies. That's when things get scary. Life is like a stew, you have to stir it frequently, or all the scum rises to the top.”

“You can be happy for someone else's good fortune but that doesn't mean you forget your own bad luck.”

“What i'm saying is that the sun always rises. Fortune's a mix of good and bad luck. Like they say/ good luck and bad luck are strands of the same rope.”
