Quote by Dick Francis
Life has a way of kicking one along like a football, or so I've found. Fate had never dealt me personally a particularly easy time, but that was OK, that was normal. Most people, it seemed to me, took their turn to be football. Most survived. Some didn't.

They acknowledge that fate has never been kind to them, but they consider their struggles to be a common and normal experience. They also recognize that everyone, at some point, goes through difficult times, resembling a football themselves. The quote implies that while some people may overcome these challenges and survive, others may not be so fortunate.
