Theodore Melfi Quotes

There is always room for coincidence.

We are continually shaped by the forces of coincidence.

A lot of it just has to do with luck, serendipity.

Is it possible that there are no coincidences?

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

I don't believe in coincidence.

I'm quite a rational person, but I'm drawn to the irrational. I love coincidences, and I like to question that in fiction: 'Is this random, or is there something working underneath?'
