The belief in coincidence is the prevalent
superstition of the Age of Science.
Robert Shea & Robert Anton Wilson
Having no unusual coincidence is far more
unusual
than any coincidence could possibly be.
Isaac Asimov
Coincidence
is the word we use when we can't see the levers and
pulleys.

Bull
The problem
of synchronicity has puzzled me for a long time, ever since
the middle twenties, when I was investigating the phenomena
of the
collective unconscious and kept on coming across
connections which I
simply could not explain as chance
groupings or "runs." What I found were
"coincidences" which
were connected so meaningfully that their "chance"
concurrence would represent a degree of improbability that
would have
to be expressed by an astronomical figure.
Carl
Jung
Coincidences
are a true paradox. . . on the one hand they seem to be
the source of our greatest irrationalities--seeing causal
connections
when science tells us they aren't there. On the other
hand, some of
our greatest feats of scientific discovery depend on
coincidences.
Josh
Tenenbaum
Coincidence,
if traced far enough back, becomes inevitable.
Hineu
All
mystical experience is coincidence; and vice versa, of
course.
Tom
Stoppard
The
more frequently one uses the word "coincidence" to
explain
bizarre happenings, the more obvious it becomes that one is
not
seeking, but evading the real explanation.
Robert Shea
and Robert Anton
Wilson
Learn
to get in touch with silence within yourself, and know
that everything in this life has purpose. There are no
mistakes,
no coincidences; all events are blessings given to us to
learn from.
