"Plot twist: everything goes exactly as planned."

"It seems when Opportunity knocks, Fate shows up to open the door."

Donna Grant

"Tis no wonder, says one of the ancients, that chance has so great a dominion over us, since it is by chance we live."

Donna Grant

"If the whole world is evil, then the tragedy that befell you is justified," she went on. "That would make it easier for you to accept the deaths of your wife and daughters. But if good people do exist, then, however much you deny it, your life will be unbearable; because fate set a trap for you, and you know you didn't deserve it. It isn't the light you want to recover, it's the certainty that there is only darkness."

Donna Grant

"Antonio: Will you stay no longer? nor will you not that I go with you? Sebastian: By your patience, no. My stars shine darkly over me; the malignancy of my fate might, perhaps, distemper yours; therefore I shall crave of you your leave that I may bear my evils alone. It were a bad recompense for your love to lay any of them on you."

Donna Grant

"It were for me To throw my sceptre at the injurious gods, To tell them that this world did equal theirs Till they had stolen our jewel."

"We are the products of fate, from beginning to end."

Donna Grant

"Fate seems to be taking me in some even stranger directions."

Quote_1.png
Donna Grant

"There's that day when you realize that everything that happened before that one person found you, probably happened to prepare you and to prepare everything, for that person's arrival. It's not that everything suddenly "makes sense" but it's more that you understand why this didn't work and that didn't work and you fell into this ditch and you broke a certain bone somewhere. It's so they'd find you. Or so that you'd find them. So you'd find each other."

Quote_1.png
Donna Grant

"The ancients believed in Fate because they recognized how hard it is for anyone to change anything. The pull of past and future is so strong that the present is crushed by it. We lie helpless in the force of patterns inherited and patterns re-enacted by our own behavior. The burden is intolerable."
