That man can destroy life is just as miraculous a feat as that he can create it, for life is the miracle, the inexplicable.

You just want to keep the store going. You're not going to do as well this year as last year probably, but nonetheless let's keep the store going. What ruins most writers of talent is that they don't get enough experience, so their novels tend to develop a certain paranoid perfection.: Norman Mailer (1923 - 2007)
I just write what I wanted to write. I write what amuses me. It's totally for myself.: J. K. Rowling

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, quoted in "The Power of Coincidence," Psychology Today, July 2004
