Famous quotes containing the word fate:

    ... fate is not an eagle, it creeps like a rat.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    Such is the fate of simple Bard,
    On life’s rough ocean luckless starr’d:
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)

    I’d like to get away from earth awhile
    And then come back to it and begin over.
    May no fate willfully misunderstand me
    And half grant what I wish and snatch me away
    Not to return. Earth’s the right place for love:
    I don’t know where it’s likely to go better.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
