Francine Pascal Quotes

Fortune rules in all things, and advances and depresses things more out of her own will than right and justice.

Prize lists are out, and you're not on them? Nature of the world - means nothing. Prizes are a lottery.

Good luck, I'm beginning to discover, is just as baffling as the bad. There never seems to be a reason for it - no sense of reward or punishment. It simply is - the most incomprehensible idea of all.

You are much more dependent on luck than you think. People say if you want to have a good relationship, you have to work at it. But you never hear it about anything you really like, about sailing or going to soccer games.

I often think how unfairly life's good fortune is sometimes distributed.

Take it from me, Fate doesn't care most of the time.

Chance. Stupid, dumb, blind chance. Just a part of the strange mechanism of the world, with its fits and coughs and starts and random collisions.

Woe to him who would ascribe something like reason to Chance, and make a religion of surrendering to it.

Life is unfair. And it's not fair that life is unfair.

Life isn’t fair. Fair is somewhere you go to ride the dodgems and win a goldfish. (from Rush of Blood)

Why not me? Suffering, she understood, is, in fact, random, universal.
