Fate

Famous quotes containing the word fate:

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

    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)

    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)
