Blaise Pascal Quotes

So much of life is what you roll and where you land.

Luck has a lot to do with how your life develops.

I was thinking about how fleeting and precious life is. Life is also arbitrary. For example, the choices that you make, the luck of being born into the right bed, to parents who support and help you and who love you. That doesn't always happen - and then, what happens when it doesn't?

It's difficult because nothing's preordained by plan and you can't control it. That's one of those joys and thrills and nerve-racking realities of being an actor. A lot has to do with luck, no matter what your talent or contribution can be.

I don't think I've decided much in my life. Don't you think life just happens?

The reality is that luck does play a part of it. It does. Ultimately it's a make or miss league.

Chance is a second master.

Chances rule men and not men chances.

Be a football to Time and Chance, the more kicks, the better, so that you inspect the whole game and know its utmost law.

Chance. It weaves through our lives like a golden thread, sometimes knotting, tangling, and breaking along the way. Loose threads are left hanging, but the in and out, the back and forth continues, the weaving goes on. It doesn't stop.

Luck is the grand equalizer.

Luck is a thing that comes in many forms and who can recognize her?

Life is mere chance only when one allows it to be.

Life's a wheel of fortune and y'all can't buy a vowel.

It seems to me that everything that happens to us is a disconcerting mix of choice and contingency.

Luck affects everything. Let your hook always be cast; in the stream where you least expect it there will be a fish.

Chance, my dear, is the sovereign deity in child-bearing.

The choices that we make through our lives, the people who intersect us on our path kind of change what our fated destiny is. So some of us are lucky enough for the choices that we make to keep us on our path.

Anything that can happen, will happen.

My work is about life as you and I experience it. You're either lucky or you're not lucky; either your relationship works or it doesn't.

The thing about acting is that it's fairly random. At the end of the day you take what drifts past you or what's given to you.

I respond very easily to outside events. One's life is a matter of chance. Nothing that you've arranged for yourself works out.

The theme of luck comes up a lot. It's something I thought about before, why some people are lucky and some people aren't lucky. It seems like some people you meet can sort of cultivate luck, and I've always been fascinated by that.

History is totally unpredictable.

Life is a school of probability
