Famous quotes containing the word fate:

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

    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)

    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)
