Famous quotes containing the word fate:
“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)
“The fate of love is that it always seems too little or too much.”
—Amelia E. Barr (1831–1919)
“... it is not only our fate but our business to lose innocence, and once we have lost that it is futile to attempt a picnic in Eden.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
