Famous quotes containing the word fate:

    This, indeed, has always been the fate of the few that have professed scepticism, that, when they have done what they can to discredit their senses, they find themselves, after all, under a necessity of trusting to them. Mr. Hume has been so candid as to acknowledge this; and it is no less true of those who have shewn the same candour; for I never heard that any sceptic runs his head against a post, or stepped into a kennel, because he did not believe his eyes.
    Thomas Reid (1710–1796)

    Your fate is to be what you are. As mine is to be what I am—your master.
    Griffin Jay, Randall Faye, and Lew Landers. Armand Tesla (Bela Lugosi)

    ... 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)
