#coincidence

Coincidence was a concept he did not entirely trust. As someone who had spent his life exploring the hidden interconnectivity of disparate emblems and ideologies, Langdon viewed the world as a web of profoundly intertwined histories and events. The connections may be invisible, he often preached to his symbology classes at Harvard, but they are always there, buried just beneath the surface. ↗

Coincidence obeys no laws and if it does we don't know what they are. Coincidence, if you'll permit me the simile, is like the manifestation of God at every moment on our planet. A senseless God making senseless gestures at his senseless creatures. In that hurricane, in that osseous implosion, we find communion. ↗

All I really wanted to do was make an album that was going to be just back to what I like to do... And it was a coincidence that these new bands, this new wave of bands, were doing Alice and Iggy rock. ↗

Consciousness itself is an infinite regress. This explains coincidences. ↗

- Не ме познахте май! - засмя се шофьорът на таксито. Тя го позна още в първия миг, но не можеше да повярва, че такъв човек съществува. Той бързаше, дори не влезе вътре. Колата го чакала долу с хора. Разказа на крак одисеята на романа. Намерил ръкописа чак в края на смяната си. Съобразил, че в тези страници е вложен доста труд главно от машинописката. Изправен пред невъзможността да ги занесе на притежателя, той се заел да издири адреса чрез семейството в Бояна, пред чиято вила бе запомнил, че е оставил една завеяна пътница. Разбира се, само по предположение, че може би измежду многобройните му и многолики клиенти тя е била злополучната авторка. А може след полунощ на заспиване да е попрочел някоя и друга глава от романа и да е отгатнал зад редовете силуета на една странна птица, неориентирана за посоките на града и света, изгубена и тъжна. И много смешна. Тя стоеше на прага, изумена и щастлива, не вече от връщането на ръкописа, а от самото откриване на такъв човек. И от нещо друго: в неговото младо, насмешливо лице тя позна чудесния Случай, който й подсказваше, че има смисъл героите й да продължат да живеят - може и на тях да се падне да пътуват с такси № 28-29 из София, карано от един млад, мълчалив по време на пътуването шофьор. Пожелавам живот. ↗

And I still say it was just a coincidence;' he muttered pugnaciously. 'You say it too! Look at me and say it! It was just a coincidence. That happened to be the nearest place on the dial where they both met exactly, those two hands. My blows dented them. They got stuck there just as the works died, that was all. Stay sane whatever you do. Say it over and over. It was just a coincidence!' Outside the tall French windows, in the velvety night-sky, the stars in all their glory twinkled derisively in at them.
