“Coincidences to get characters into trouble are great; coincidences to get them out of it are cheating.”
“Coincidences are God's way of getting our attention.”
“There are few persons, even among the calmest thinkers, who have not occasionally been startled into a vague yet thrilling half credence in the supernatural, by coincidences of so seemingly marvellous a character that, as mere coincidences, the intellect has been unable to receive them.”
“It is coincidence, I decide, and I am getting old and batty, thinking the universe revolves around me.”
“There is no coincidence. Only the illusion of coincidence.”
“Maybe it was too much of a coincidence to be a purely coincidence.”
