“En définitive, le sort n’était pas si rancunier et si stupidement farceur, comme tant d’autres l’en accusaient. Negrişor avait remarqué, au fil de ses années, bien assez nombreuses pour que la somme finale soit jugée rondelette, que, si ce vieillard déluré, ce birbe à qui l’on a confié la charge de la maîtrise du temps et des trajectoires des hommes, lui infligeait un malheur ou deux, il prenait néanmoins ensuite le soin de retourner soudain la veste de la chance. Le barbon doit être plutôt égrillard et grippe-sou : face à celui qui ne se révolte jamais contre ses canulars, il est capable de sortir de ses gonds en redoublant de ténacité ; tandis que celui qui se ramollit, il finit par lui taper sur la tête et l’achever. En revanche, contre celui qui lui oppose résistance et l’accuse ouvertement, il se fâche, pour avoir été trop hostilement morigéné. Lorsqu’on fait des gaudrioles sympathiques, cela l’enchante comme tout grison qui ne met pas votre patience à rude épreuve. Que voulez-vous ? Nous vivons dans un monde qui s’est trop éloigné de ses origines, comme si nous étions les enfants d’hommes trop anciens et usés. Tout est fêlé dans cet univers expulsé de l’ordre préétabli ; possible que ce soit la raison pour laquelle Dieu souhaite sa perte, et sa transfiguration. Mais là commence une tout autre histoire, et seul le diable sait qui pourra encore la suivre. Celui qui, en revanche, sent la raison d’être des choses se doit, qu’il le veuille ou non, de s’y conformer. Puisque l’univers est timbré, que peut-il de plus, Negrişor, hormis commander encore un espresso, et disposer, de façon symétrique, autour de la tasse, sur la soucoupe, quelques mégots de cigarettes, en attendant la nouvelle facétie du vieillard aux ciseaux ?”

“Why do things happen the way they do? Is there some kind of order in all this chaos that we just don't see, or is it all, as the mathematically minded people would like us to believe, just random coincidence? If you put one hundred apes in a room, they'll tell you, with one hundred typewriters, and given an infinite amount of time and bananas, one of them would eventually churn out the complete Oxford dictionary. It's all statistical math and probability. The odds of winning the lottery are greater than the odds of getting struck by lightning, but someone wins, don't they? And people get hit by lightning disturbingly more often that you would think. Their point is, eventually all things happen. No matter how philosophically unprejudiced you are, you can't argue with statistical probabilities. But you can certainly give the mathematicians some substantial cud to chew on, can't you? For instance, sure, everything may be eventual from a statistical point of view, but what happens to the formula if you plug in when a particular thing happens? The fortuitousness of the timing? Or combine a particular coincidence with other seemingly non-related coincidences that might have occurred within the same general time frame? We've all had it happen. It's one of our favorite phrases: "Why me? Why now?" Well, when you take the "when" into account, all kinds of very interesting and un-mathematical things begins to happen. The coincidence becomes too coincidental to be a coincidence.”

“It can get a little complicated when you have the expectation that you’re supposed to live Happily Ever After with this person when they were designed to stay with you for just a little while. Our Master designs it this way so you make the most of the relationship when you have it. She thought all soul mates were meant to be forever, when some soul mates are just meant to be.”
