Earlier quoted context omitted.

It is astonishing, isn't it? I'm reading Sirens of Titan right now and luck is such a big theme in it. You can always increase your odds by healthy living, but nothing is guaranteed. It really comes down to dumb luck.

Keith Richards is alive. Hard to think of a more improbable thing.
