Nobody is superstitious (Steinbeck)

It’s all right not to believe in luck and omens. Nobody believes in them. But it doesn’t do any good to take chances with them and no one takes chances. Cannery Row, like every place else, is not superstitious but will not walk under a ladder or open an umbrella in the house.
–John Steinbeck, Cannery Row (1945), p. 143
