If I could, I'd write a huge encyclopedia just about the words luck and coincidence

Paulo Coelho
About This Quote

This quote is quite true, especially when it comes to writing. It seems like whenever you put two words together, there is some sort of meaning or meaninglessness. Like the two words “luck” and “coincidence” work together to make this sentence. But really, they don’t. They are simply two words that can be used to describe various situations or situations that lead you to use the word “luck” or “coincidence.” Now, if I could write an encyclopedia about these two words, I would write the following: Coincidence: A situation in which two things occur with no connection between them, but cause you to do something based on how they occurred. Luck: When something occurs with no connection between them, but causes you to do something based on your circumstances Not sure if this is right but it's what I got anyway
