"There's that day when you realize that everything that happened before that one person found you, probably happened to prepare you and to prepare everything, for that person's arrival. It's not that everything suddenly "makes sense" but it's more that you understand why this didn't work and that didn't work and you fell into this ditch and you broke a certain bone somewhere. It's so they'd find you. Or so that you'd find them. So you'd find each other."

"Fate can be tricky and troublesome when not managed well."
"When ill luck begins, it does not come in sprinkles, but in showers."

This desponding view of probability the hopeful entirely reject, taking their wishes as good and sufficient security for all kinds of fulfilment."
