     I recently wrote an article about the many coincidences in my life.  I began to think about it.  Are they really a coincidence?  Is there such a thing as conincidence or is it a illusion?  Is life only about patterns and there are no conincidences?

    These powerful quotes may help you decide what you believe about coincidences:


Coincidence is logical.
Johan Cruijff

Coincidence is the word we use when we can't see the levers and pulleys.
Emma Bull

Dressing up is inevitably a substitute for good ideas. It is no coincidence that technically inept business types are known as 'suits'.
Paul Graham

Every individual decision is nothing but coincidence, every artistic decision is coincidence.
Alva Noto

Every single moment is a coincidence.
Doug Coupland

Happiness is always a coincidence.
Jose Bergamin

I don't believe in coincidence.
Juliette Binoche

I love England. It's no coincidence it's the first place I moved to for a more cosmopolitan life, which is the only thing Iceland lacks.
Bjork

IT is mere coincidence that Cooper was born in the year which produced The Power of Sympathy and that when he died Uncle Tom's Cabin was passing through its serial stage, and yet the limits of his life mark almost exactly the first great period of American fiction.
Carl Clinton Van Doren

It is no coincidence that our country has not been attacked since 9-11. Our initiatives to protect the homeland and aggressively take the fight to the terrorists have been factors in that success.
Roger Wicker

It is no coincidence that the growth of modern tyrants has in every case been heralded by the growth of prejudice.
Henry A. Wallace


 

Coincidence quotes and sayings about coincidences remind us to pay attention to these meaningful, sometimes magical occurrences. Many famous authors consider these acts divine in nature. What do you think? I have a friend who calls these ‘holy cow’ moments and tracks them in her journal. They are obviously meant to catch our attention by their sheer improbability. Or do you think that is just a coincidence?

No one is where he is by accident, and chance plays no part in God’s plan.
A Course in Miracles

In the magical universe there are no coincidences and there are no accidents. Nothing happens unless someone wills it to happen.
William S. Burroughs

Coincidences are spiritual puns.
G.K. Chesterton

According to Vedanta, there are only two symptoms of enlightenment, just two indications that a transformation is taking place within you toward a higher consciousness. The first symptom is that you stop worrying. Things don’t bother you anymore. You become light hearted and full of joy. The second symptom is that you encounter more and more meaningful coincidences in your life, more and more synchronicities. And this accelerates to the point where you actually experience the miraculous.
Deepak Chopra

Live your life with an appreciation of coincidences and you connect with the field of infinate possibilities.
Deepak Chopra

When you live your life with an appreciation of coincidences and their meanings, you connect with the underlying field of infinite possibilities.
Deepak Chopra

Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous.
Albert Einstein

Chance is perhaps the pseudonym of God when he does not wish to sign his work.
Anatole France

As soon as we notice that certain types of events ‘like’ to cluster together at certain times, we begin to understand the Chinese, whose theories of medicine, philosophy, and even building are based on a ‘science’ of meaningful coincidences.
Marie Louise von Franz

There is no such thing as chance; and what seems to us mere accident springs form the deepest source of destiny.
Friedrich Schiller

It is such a complex matter we live within, it is impossible to track logic and decision making really, so therefore each choice can actually only be seen as coincidence.
Alva Noto

Many applications of the coincidence method will therefore be found in the large field of nuclear physics, and we can say without exaggeration that the method is one of the essential tools of the modern nuclear physicist.
Walther Bothe

Marvel books also feed into the smaller publishers and the fact that this is happening in the same month we're launching Ultimate Fantastic Four is no coincidence.
Mark Millar

Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.
Erma Bombeck
