Alexander Chee Quotes

When I first met with Kurt [Sutter], it was one of those moments where you feel everything is happening for a reason.

Now. Maybe you think it is arrogant or self centered, or ridiculous for me to believe that God bothered to wiggle a cheap bolt out of my new used car because he or she needed to keep me away for a few days until just the moment when my old friend most needed me to help her mother move into whatever comes next. Maybe nothing conscious helped to stall me so that I would be there when I could be most useful. Or maybe it did. I’ll never know for sure. And anyway, it doesn’t really matter.

Coincidence is a messenger sent by truth.

Chance is perhaps the pseudonym of God when he did not want to sign.

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

Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous.

In real life, coincidences happen all the time. In novels, they are leapt upon with fury.

I can read significance into tiny, tiny things. If I'd met someone 10 years ago and not seen them again, and then I suddenly bumped into them, I'd feel that that was 'meant,' or there's a fate, you know?

I don't really believe in coincidence.

I don't think it's a coincidence this happened. God does things for a reason ... It's a good message for back home.

Nothing in this world happens without a reason. That we are all exactly where we are supposed to be, and that the pieces of the puzzle have a tendency to come together when you least expect it.

When things are meant to come together, they come together.

Any coincidencce is worth noticing. You can throw it away later if it is only a coincidence.

Nothing happens by chance, my friend... No such thing as luck. A meaning behind every little thing, and such a meaning behind this. Part for you, part for me, may not see it all real clear right now, but we will, before long.

And for one second, it was like I could feel the timing clicking together, finally pieces falling into place.

... one of the immutable laws of being human is that the people who show up are the right people. [p. 65]

I always say there are no coincidences.

I don't believe in coincidences.

If it's meant to be for you, it's going to happen.

There are no coincidences.

In the ill-judged execution of the well-judged plan of things the call seldom produces the comer, the man to love rarely coincides with the hour for loving. Nature does not often say 'See!' to her poor creature at a time when seeing can lead to happy doing; or reply 'Here!' to a body's cry of 'Where?' till the hide-and-seek has become an irksome outworn game.

Synchronicity: A meaningful coincidence of two or more events where something other than the probability of chance is involved.
