Famous quotes containing the words fate and/or taro:
“For when we must resign our vital breath,
Our Loves by Fate benighted,
We by this friendship shall survive in death,
Even in divorce united.
Weak Love through fortune or distrust
In time forgets to burn,
But this pursues us to the Urn,
And marries either’s Dust.”
—Thomas Stanley (1625–1678)
“The most important thing in my father’s life? World peace. Me and my brother. My mom.”
—Sean Taro Ono Lennon (b. 1975)
