    We are hedged about, we think, by accident and circumstance; now we creep as in a dream, and now again we run, as if there were a fate in it, and all things thwarted or assisted.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    It is the fate of heroines to be laughed at.
    Jane O’Reilly, U.S. feminist and humorist. The Girl I Left Behind, ch. 7 (1980)

    I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
