More from Ghostwritten (this book is killing me):

"Does chance or fate control our lives? Well, the answer is as relative as time. If you're in your life, chance. Viewed from the outside, like a book you're reading, it's fate all the way."

Maybe everything is accidental; patterns are nothing more than tricks our brains play as they struggle to deal with what they are unable to grasp, predict or influence.

Yet sometimes you just can't shake off the feeling (or the cliche) that it's all connected, somehow. Yesterday and tomorrow, reality and fiction, your thoughts and other people's thoughts...

Is randomness or repetition the main principle of human existence?
Don't you ever wish we could simply stop wondering?
