Famous quotes containing the word fate:

    “It has come to this, that the friends of liberty, the friends of the slave, have shuddered when they have understood that his fate was left to the legal tribunals of the country to be decided. Free men have no faith that justice will be awarded in such a case.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Your fate is to be what you are. As mine is to be what I am—your master.”
    —Griffin Jay, Randall Faye, and Lew Landers. Armand Tesla (Bela Lugosi)

    “We must all die. There’s nothing terrible about death. But to live on after death, a soul, earthbound, a vampire—you don’t wish any such fate for your beloved.”
    —Guy Endore, and Tod Browning. Prof. Zelenn (Lionel Barrymore)
