Quote by Jean de La Fontaine

Luck's always to blame.

Luck's always to blame.

Summary

This quote suggests that when things don't go as planned or desired, people tend to attribute it to luck rather than taking responsibility for their actions or circumstances. It implies that luck is often seen as an external force that has control over outcomes. By blaming luck, individuals might feel that they have no control over their own fate, potentially excusing themselves from the accountability of their choices. This quote reflects how some individuals use luck as a convenient explanation to avoid acknowledging their own agency and the impact of their decisions in shaping their lives.

Some people appear to be happy, but they simply don't give the matter much thought. Others make plans: I'm going to have a husband, a home, two children, a house in the country. As long as they're busy doing that, they're like bulls looking for the bullfighter: they react instinctively, they blunder on, with no idea where the target is. They get their car, sometimes they even get a Ferrari, and they think that's the meaning of life, and they never question it. Yet their eyes betray the sadness that even they don't know they carry in their soul. Are you happy?
