Famous quotes containing the word fate:

    ... it is not only our fate but our business to lose innocence, and once we have lost that it is futile to attempt a picnic in Eden.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    To die for one’s country is such a worthy fate that all compete for so beautiful a death.
    Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)

    The Battle of Waterloo is a work of art with tension and drama with its unceasing change from hope to fear and back again, change which suddenly dissolves into a moment of extreme catastrophe, a model tragedy because the fate of Europe was determined within this individual fate.
    Stefan Zweig (18811942)
