A quote from the movie “Lucky Number Slevin”
You are unlucky and nothing more than a frame of reference for the lucky, Mr. Fisher. You are unlucky so that I may know that I am not. Unfortunately, the lucky never realize they are lucky until it is too late. They curse themselves, for instance, yesterday you were better off than you are today, but it took today for you to realize it. But, today has arrived, and its too late. You see? People are never happy with what they have. They always want what they had, or someone else has.
Kinda like a rabbi would rather be a gangster and a gangster would rather be a rabbi. I mean what is that, some kind of “grass is always green on the other side of the fence” thing? I mean how do you justify being a rabbi and a gangster?
I don’t. I’m a bad man who doesn’t waste time wondering what could have been, when I am what could have been and could not have been. When you live on both sides of the fence, the grass is always green.
Unfortunate for me, the grass is not green on either side.
