About this Quote

This quote by Gilbert K. Chesterton recommends that coincidences are more than simply random events. Rather, they are indications from the spiritual world that have a deeper significance. Chesterton indicates that coincidences resemble puns, because they are a play on words that have a hidden message. He recommends that coincidences are a method for the spiritual world to interact with us, which we need to take note of them.
