Famous quotes containing the word fate:

—David Lloyd George (1863–1945)
“To die for one’s country is such a worthy fate that all compete for so beautiful a death.”
—Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)
“We must all die. There’s nothing terrible about death. But to live on after death, a soul, earthbound, a vampire—you don’t wish any such fate for your beloved.”
—Guy Endore, and Tod Browning. Prof. Zelenn (Lionel Barrymore)
