When good befalls a man he calls it Providence, when evil fate.

Fate is the endless chain of causation, whereby things are; the reason or formula by which the world goes on.

I never used to believe in fate. I used to think you make your own life, and then you call it fate.

Fate is nothing but the deeds committed in a prior state of existence.

Fate is a sempiternal and unchangeable series and chain of things, rolling and unraveling itself through eternal sequences of cause and effect, of which it is composed and compounded.

I'm a great believer in fate. I think things happen in spite of, and despite, yourself.

I don't believe in fate or destiny. I believe in various degrees of hatred, paranoia, and abandonment. However much of that gets heaped upon you doesn't matter - it's only a matter of how much you can take and what it does to you.
