Famous quotes containing the word fate:

    It is the fate of heroines to be laughed at.
    Jane O’Reilly, U.S. feminist and humorist. The Girl I Left Behind, ch. 7 (1980)

    For after all man knows mighty little, and may some day learn enough of his own ignorance to fall down again and pray. Not that I care. Only, if such is God’s will, and Fate and Evolution—let there be God!
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    I have, as when the sun doth light a storm,
    Buried this sigh in wrinkle of a smile;
    But sorrow that is couched in seeming gladness
    Is like that mirth fate turns to sudden sadness.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
