Famous quotes containing the word fate:
“I love Italian operaits so reckless. Damn Wagner, and his bellowings at Fate and death. Damn Debussy, and his averted face. I like the Italians who run all on impulse, and dont care about their immortal souls, and dont worry about the ultimate.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“It is not menstrual blood per se which disturbs the imaginationunstanchable as that red flood may bebut rather the albumen in the blood, the uterine shreds, placental jellyfish of the female sea. This is the chthonian matrix from which we rose. We have an evolutionary revulsion from slime, our site of biologic origins. Every month, it is womans fate to face the abyss of time and being, the abyss which is herself.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“It is the fate of heroines to be laughed at.”
—Jane OReilly, U.S. feminist and humorist. The Girl I Left Behind, ch. 7 (1980)
