“Whatever happens, they say afterwards, it must have been fate. People are always a little confused about this, as they are in the case of miracles. When someone is saved from certain death by a strange concatenation of circumstances, they say that's a miracle.

Just because it's not nice doesn't mean it's not miraculous.” PeopleIfsMeanLittlesHas BeensHappensCertainCoursesCasesNiceFateEventsStrangeBrokenCircumstancesMiracleSafetyOilSavedChainsConfusedFreakFenceMiraculousWhatever HappensDiscworldInteresting TimesCertain DeathChain Of Events Author:Terry Pratchett
