"Every breath, son, is luck." He opened his eyes and they were pink in the corners. "Achievement? Depends on luck — to be born in the right place at the right time and be of the right color. To live long enough to be in the right place at the right time to make one’s fortune. Yes, yes, hard work and talent make up the difference. They are crucial, and you know I’d never argue different. But the foundation of all lives is luck. Good or bad. Luck is life and life is luck. And it’s leaking from the moment it lands in your hand." (Dennis Lehane, "Live By Night")
