Long before they had ever met, I think this destiny awaited them. They were not like ships passing in the night. It wasn’t like they didn’t understand each other. They understood each other better than...

The universe had an odd sense of fairness; it took away things one did not want to give up, and then gave things one did not ask for.

But it is precisely at those moments when the glass seems to be ‘set fair’ that Fate invariably decides to take a hand.

Embrace the love of your life.

Self-discovery is the greatest asset.

The limitations in life do not necessary limit you.

To think that we might easily have gone through life not knowing each other, missing all this free flow of love and ideas and warmth and sharing… We share really almost everything. (Avis DeVoto to...

The secret prayer chamber is a bloody battleground. Here violent and decisive battles are fought out. Here the fate of souls for time and eternity is determined, in quietude and solitude.

In one timeless instant a complex impression, not of knowledge but of feeling, penetrated her awareness like an indelible dream. An imprint of evil and a preponderance of good, both crying that somehow it was...

The destiny of a man is determined by his daily action, God won’t allow you go anywhere, if you don’t make an attempt to move.

Your personal truth is your gift to the world.

But I love you and I want you and I need you. Can’t you see that? This world has nothing to offer me if it doesn’t include you.

May those who follow their fate be granted happiness; may those who defy it be granted glory

Come in, Bean.” Come in Julian Delphiki, longed-for child of good and loving parents. Come in, kidnapped child, hostage of fate. Come and talk to the Fates, who are playing such clever little games with...

The only way I can pay back for what fate and society have handed me is to try, in minor totally useless ways, to make an angry sound against injustice.

Find then follow the path that enables you to live the life you want to live. Don’t be blow by the winds of fate. Don’t be a creation of circumstances.

Without knowing why or how, I found myself in love with this strange Wanderess. Maybe I was just in love with the dream she was selling me: a life of destiny and fate; as my...

Stultum est timere quod vitare non potes

Where we choose to be, where we choose to be–we have the power to determine that in our lives. We cannot reel time backward or forward, but we can take ourselves to the place that...

But that I should have ended up in a place like this seems too custom-made a nightmare to be the work of mere ill fortune.

Time and tide wait for no man.

If life’s journey was intended to be easy, we would have been given directions. However, since we have no road map, we must climb the highest mountain and forge the deepest streams with love in...

Neither of us asked to be born descendants, yet I’d be rewarded with his death, and we couldn’t prevent that. No one could. (Eric)

Before the war Sofya Levinton had once said to Yevgenia Nikolaevna Shaposhnikova, ‘If one man is fated to be killed by another, it would be interesting to trace the gradual convergence of their paths. At...

I’ve found I still serve a purpose. I remind people to pray, to calculate the odds, to thank the fates, the gods, good karma, whatever it was that made this happen to me and not...

Fate is not in man but around him

He sees her looking at him with interest, and is encouraged to go on. ‘I wouldn’t be here with you now. This wouldn’t be real – something else would. You’d have been another you, instead...

If Heaven was a summer sky and a TV left on mute, then the Underworld was a starry night and an electric guitar with amps.

This is just your unwritten life. You didn’t expect it, it just happened.

For the young, there is nothing unattainable; a good thing desired with the whole force of a passionate will, and yet impossible, is to them not credible. Yet, by death, by illness, by poverty, or...

This is not as gratifying as it can be. We’ve got five ACC games left and our fate is in our own hands. We can continue to creep up the standings or we can fall...

I don’t believe for a minute-that we wouldn’t have become friends somehow-that an unexploded bomb wouldn’t have gone off and blown us both into the same crater, or that God himself wouldn’t have come along...

As much as I cared about him, I wasn’t a slave to fate. I could choose to ignore my feelings, strong as they were. It would be painful, but no more so than letting myself...

I fantasized how no matter what happened, no one could ever come between us, call it wishful thinking, I called it a fact.

I am Frustration. I am Memory-Lost. Sometimes I read a line a dozen times before it sticks. My creative force has slipped. I type slower, speak slower, think at a snail’s pace. I’m Life shapeshifted...

With riddles as black as coals, and answers as invisible as our past, I can only depend upon the crest of the rolling wave I now traversed; a romance worshiped only by the dreamer in...

Every sacred mission, every hunt for hidden relics, every pilgrimage from one end of the earth to the other … I was looking for you.

Sometimes fate or life or whatever you want to call it, leaves a door a little open and you walk through it. But sometimes it locks the door and you have to find the key,...

In twenty-one years, I have not considered changing to Todd. The bizarre course of my life suggests that Odd is more suited to me, whether it was conferred by my parents with intention or fate.

If you have life and good health, you have the greatest blessings.

Every citizen must pray for its nation.

Struggling alone, like the everyday and ending with the same fate.

I am glad to be led by light.

Fate is the malevolent little jester sitting up in the heavens and pondering over how ridiculous we humans are and he does his best to make fools out of all of us. And sooner or...

You make choices that are good and sound, but the gods have other plans for you.

Yeah. A feeling. Like the whole point of my life from the alleys in Bangkok to the yachts and private island to coming here like a crazy person trying to fly a helicopter like all...

I felt a numb shock as I drove home anxious to get my chocolate flowers and wondering how my mother arranged to get them delivered to me at the exact time of her passing as...

Living Life Tomorrow’s fate, though thou be wise, Thou canst not tell nor yet surmise; Pass, therefore, not today in vain, For it will never come again.

I’ve always seen this in you, ever since you were a little girl — this hunger to love other people into their highest selves and it’s what has made me irreversibly and just so forever...

I ruin everything. I think that a bullet must have passed through my heart when I was very young, causing me to bleed out slowly, over things and people and every white surface that I’d...
