Famous quotes containing the word fate:

    “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)

    “‘Tis weak and vicious people who cast the blame on Fate. The right use of Fate is to bring up our conduct to the loftiness of nature.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    ““... The state’s one function is to give.
    The bud must bloom till blowsy blown
    Its petals loosen and are strown;
    And that’s a fate it can’t evade
    Unless ‘twould rather wilt than fade.””
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
