Famous quotes containing the word fate:

    In separation, deadly as poison,
    in union, brimming with nectar.
    What, did fate make my love
    out of both equally?
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    The impression made on me was that the French Canadians were even sharing the fate of the Indians, or at least gradually disappearing in what is called the Saxon current.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    My fate cries out,
    And makes each petty artery in this body
    As hardy as the Nemean lion’s nerve.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
