Beyond Coincidence Quotes

“Allegory and metaphor work by linking together two normally unconnected ideas in order to startle the reader into seeing something they thought they knew in a different light. Strictly speaking metaphors aren't coincidences, as they are man-made, but they work the same trick: fusing unrelated entities to power a revelation.”
― Martin Plimmer, Beyond Coincidence: Amazing Stories of Coincidence and the Mystery Behind Them
