Famous quotes containing the word fate:
“Such is the fate of simple Bard,
On life’s rough ocean luckless starr’d:”

“It is the fate of heroines to be laughed at.”

“Fate forces its way to the powerful and violent. With subservient obedience it will assume for years dependency on one individual: Caesar, Alexander, Napoleon, because it loves the elemental human being who grows to resemble it, the intangible element. Sometimes, and these are the most astonishing moments in world history, the thread of fate falls into the hands of a complete nobody but only for a twitching minute.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
