• Things worthwhile generally don’t just happen. Luck is a fact, but should not be a factor. Good luck is what is left over after intelligence and effort have combined at their best. Negligence or indifference are usually reviewed from an unlucky seat. The law of cause and effect and causality both work the same with inexorable exactitudes. Luck is the residue of design.

• As a final crash of self-indulgent nonsense, when the incontrovertible truth of your panoramic and murderous deceit has even begun to cost your political party seemingly perpetual congressional seats....When somebody asks you, sir, about the cooked books and faked threats you foisted on a sincere and frightened nation; when somebody asks you, sir, about your gallant, noble, self-abnegating sacrifice of your golf game so as to soothe the families of the war dead; this advice, Mr. Bush: Shut the hell up! Good night and good luck.

• You sleep with a dream of summer weather,
  wake to the thrum of rain—roped down by rain.
  Nothing out there but drop-heavy feathers of grass
  and rainy air. The plastic table on the terrace
  has shed three legs on its way to the garden fence.
  The mountains have had the sense to disappear.
  It's the Celtic temperament—wind, then torrents, then remorse.
  Glory rising like a curtain over distant water.
  Old stonehouse, having steered us through the dark,
  docks in a pool of shadow all its own.
  That widening crack in the gloom is like good luck.
  Luck, which neither you nor tomorrow can depend on.
