Mighty Fate

Famous quotes containing the words mighty and/or fate:

    His mind resembled the vast amphitheatre, the Colisæum at Rome. In the centre stood his judgement, which, like a mighty gladiator, combated those apprehensions that, like the wild beasts of the Arena, were all around the cells, ready to be let out upon him. After a conflict, he drove them back into their dens; but not killing them, they were still assailing him.
    James Boswell (1740–1795)

    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)
