• I just took [my cancer diagnosis] as bad luck, basically. It did strike me almost immediately, my atheist sort of thing kicked in and I thought "ha, if I was a God-botherer, I'd be thinking, why me God? What have I done to deserve this?" and I thought at least I'm free of that, at least I can simply treat it as bad luck and get on with it.

• One day or another every athlete feels like taking it easy. He stops trying to exceed his limits, and thinks he can keep winning because of his lucky star, or the bad luck of his opponents. You must overcome this negative instinct, which affects all of us, and which is the only difference between the person who wins a race, and those who lose. This is the battle you have to fight every day of your life.

• Why is it we love so fully what has washed up on the beaches
  of our hearts, those lost messages, lost friends, the daylight stars
  we never get to see? Bad luck never takes a vacation, my friend
  once wrote. It lies there among the broken shells and stones
  we collect, a story he would say begins with you, with me,
  a story that is forever lost among the backwaters of our lives,
  our endless fear of ourselves, and our endless need for hope,
  a story, perhaps an answer, a word suddenly on wing, the simple
  sound of a torn heart, or the unmistakable scent of the morning's fading moon.

• In a way, it's nice to know that there are Greek gods out there, because you have somebody to blame when things go wrong. For instance, when you're walking away from a bus that's just been attacked by monster hags and blown up by lightning, and it's raining on top of everything else, most people might think that's just really bad luck; when you're a half-blood, you understand that some devine force is really trying to mess up your day.

• Creer o no en el Destino se reduce a una cosa: a quién culpas cuando algo sale mal. ¿Crees que es culpa tuya, que si te hubieras esforzado más no habría ocurrido? ¿O lo achacas a las circunstancias? Conozco a gente que oye hablar de los muertos y dice que fue la voluntad de Dios. Conozco gente que dirá que fue mala suerte. Y luego está mi favorito personal: Estaban en el lugar equivocado en el momento equivocado. Por otra parte, se podría decir lo mismo de mí, ¿no?
