Laini Taylor Quotes

i think of all the thousands of billions of steps and missteps and chances and coincidences that have brought me here. Brought you here, and it feels like the biggest miracle in the world.

Luck has a lot to do with how your life develops.

I never dreamt that I would do all the things that I have done. But things just happened to me all the time.

My career has been full of remarkable coincidences that have nothing to do with me.

Everything in my life happened by coincidence. Even my role in 'Delhi Belly.'

Some would assert that Providence was at work shaking out its pockets in Humanity's lap. Other would argue for that mindless choreographer, Chance. Either way it was a simple thing: a lost diary fell into the hands of a soul-sick war hero on a train from Bombay to Jaipur just when he'd grown tired of the scenery and needed something to keep his thoughts from the minefield of his wretched thoughts. In such mild ways is the groundwork laid for first kisses and ruined lives.

Nothing happens by chance, my friend... No such thing as luck.

Chance. It weaves through our lives like a golden thread, sometimes knotting, tangling, and breaking along the way. Loose threads are left hanging, but the in and out, the back and forth continues, the weaving goes on. It doesn't stop.

I don't know if I believe in luck. I think I'm very fortunate.

Timing really is nearly everything. And what it isn't, circumstance makes up for.

I believe destiny and hard work go hand in hand. I was studying to be an engineer when my mom and my brother sent my pictures for the Miss India contest. I didn't even know about it. If that isn't destiny, what is?

Everybody has to be a little lucky, I think.

Certain projects find you at the right time.

I still think my whole career was accidental. I didn't pursue it. I feel like I'm cheating sometimes.

There's certainly a huge element of luck in me ending up where I've ended up.

Sometimes I do get to places just when God's ready to have somebody click the shutter.

Few people realize that luck is created.

My whole life has been decided by fate. I've never planned anything that's happened to me.

Everything I've done I've just fallen into.
