Quote by André Aciman

“So if it wasn’t fate, what brought you to the concert tonight?” . . . . ..he said, “You.” “Me?” He nodded. “Yes, you.” “But you didn’t know you’d meet me.” “A meaningless detail. Fate works forward, backward, and crisscrosses sideways and couldn’t care less how we scan its purposes with our rickety little befores and afters.”
