Serendipity vispār skaitās viens no 10 grūtāk tulkojamiem vārdiem angļu val. Nu, šis izskaidrojums man šķiet gana labs - "Serendipity is looking in a haystack for a needle and discovering a farmer's daughter." Pek van Andel
"The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not 'Eureka!', but 'That's funny…'" Isaac Asimov
