Fates Quotes (page 22)

Who was she, what was she that she should hold herself superior? What view of life, what design upon fate, what conception of happiness, had she that she pretended to be larger than this large occasion? If she would not do this, then she must do great things, she must do something greater. Henry James
There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke. But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate, so let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late. Bob Dylan
Oscar Wilde quote: "Its a beautiful woman's fate to be the subject of conversation..."
Its a beautiful woman's fate to be the subject of conversation where ever she goes Oscar Wilde
There is so much about my fate that I cannot control, but other things do fall under my jurisdiction. There are certain lottery tickets I can buy, thereby increasing my odds of finding contentment. I can decide how I spend my time, whom I interact with, whom share my body and life and money and energy with. Elizabeth Gilbert
What will happen to those who stone the prophets and persecute the masters? His fate is written in flaming letters on each page of the history. Frank Harris

We all have such fateful objects -- it may be a recurrent landscape in one case, a number in another -- carefully chosen by the gods to attract events of specific significance for us: here shall John always stumble; there shall Jane's heart always break. Vladimir Nabokov
If I convince myself that this life has no other aspect than that of the absurd, if I feel that its whole equilibrium depends on that perpetual opposition between my conscious revolt and the darkness in which it struggles, if I admit that my freedom has no meaning except in relation to its limited fate, then I must say that what counts is not the best living but the most living. Albert Camus
Virginia Woolf quote: "It is the fate of the innocent to suffer."
It is the fate of the innocent to suffer. Virginia Woolf
But then again, chance has nothing to do with it. Your two fates did not cross through mere happenstance. The two of you set foot in this world because you were meant to enter it. And now that you have entered it, like it or not, each of you will be assigned your proper role here. Haruki Murakami
She was a grown young woman when she was overtaken by what she supposed to be the climax of her fate. It was when the face and figure of a great tragedian began to haunt her imagination and stir her senses. The persistence of the infatuation lent it an aspect of genuineness. The hopelessness of it colored it with the lofty tones of a great passion. Kate Chopin
Doug Coupland quote: "You wait for fate to bring about the changes in life which you..."
You wait for fate to bring about the changes in life which you should be bringing about yourself. Doug Coupland
...on the other hand the machine does not bleed, ache, hang for hours in the empty sky in a torment of hope to learn the fate of another machine, nor does it cry out with joy nor dance in the air with the fierce passion of a bird. Loren Eiseley
Alexander the Great quote: "Upon the conduct of each depends the fate of all."
Upon the conduct of each depends the fate of all. Alexander the Great
Yet, ah! why should they know their fate, Since sorrow never comes too late, And happiness too swiftly flies? Thought would destroy their Paradise. No more;—where ignorance is bliss, 'Tis folly to be wise. Thomas Gray
