There Are No Coincidences: Difference between revisions

* [[Tony Hillerman]]'s detective Joe Leaphorn explicitly gives "There are no coincidences" as his philosophy in solving mysteries, as stated in ''The First Eagle'' for instance.

* In ''[[Goldfinger]]'', [[James Bond]] tries to convince Goldfinger that their third meeting is a coincidence. He fails.

* In C. S. Goto's ''[[Blood Ravens]]'' trilogy, "Coincidences are for the weak-minded and the ignorant."

* In Kate Seredy's ''The Singing Tree'', when arguing that they should take {{spoiler|Marton Nagy}} home despite {{spoiler|his lack of papers}}, one argument is that it was obviously Destiny that brought them there to recognize him and jog his memory loose—they had only stopped there because a cat had stowed away in the cart and started to have kittens—and who are they to argue with destiny?
