Jean de La Fontaine Quotes

Which reminds me of a fortune cookie: you often find your destiny on the path you take to avoid it.

It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.

Why have I had this life? If I knew, I wouldn't have done it.

Circumstances define us; they force us onto one road or another, and then they punish us for it.

To be honest, whenever I run away from something, I land up straight into it.

Decisions, they shape our destiny.

You often meet your fate on the road you take to avoid it.

Decisions determine destiny.

Life is full of confusion. Confusion of love, passion, and romance. Confusion of family and friends. Confusion with life itself. What path we take, what turns we make. How we roll our dice.

You can't even kill yourself if it isn't your time to go. People have no control whatsoever over what happens to them, and they are beginning to realize this. The future lies in the time of living. Your doing something will get you into tomorrow, if you want to call it tomorrow. If you want to make those distinctions at all.

The days, months, and years eventually reveal, like a Polaroid, a clear picture of how significant events and decisions ultimately shape our lives.

I believe that fate is choices - it's not chance.

How strange a thing like that happens to a man. He dabbles in something and does not realise that it is his life.

It's choice - not chance - that determines your destiny.

Why one man rather than another? It was odd. You find yourself involved with a fellow for life just because he was the one that you met when you were nineteen.

One knows less about one's own destiny than about anything else on earth.

My whole life has been decided by fate.

Changing anything in the past, if you believe it's possible, could alter the entire future of the world, including my own birth, so I'd change nothing. Not a thing. As for the future... I think I'd like to see how it all ends, which is probably why I write about the future apocalypse so frequently.

You never think the universe will reward your first choice - it just doesn't work like that.

No man can be stronger than his destiny.

I suppose that's one of the ironies of life doing the wrong thing at the right moment.

Destiny smiles upon me but without making me the least bit happier.

Destiny is not a matter of chance; it is a matter of choice.

There's no wrong choice because, whatever you choose, that's meant for you.

As a person, I am totally obsessed with the choices and decisions we make in our lives and how they dictate the course of our lives. Seemingly random choices that we make end up defining everything.
