Jacqueline Carey Quotes

Life's all about choices. Everyone's destination is the same; only the paths are different.

You have a "turn" every time you have an opportunity to choose. But most of us only see a tiny fraction of the choices we have.

Life does not ask what we want. It presents us with options

Every moment in your life is a turning and every one a choosing. Somewhere you made a choice. All followed to this. The accounting is scrupulous. The shape is drawn. No line can be erased. I had no belief in your ability to move a coin to your bidding. How could you? A person's path through the world seldom changes and even more seldom will it change abruptly. And the shape of your path was visible from the beginning.

Fate isn’t one straight road…there are forks in it, many different routes to different ends. We have the free will to choose the path.

Sometimes we can choose the paths we follow. Sometimes our choices are made for us. And sometimes we have no choice at all.

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

The individual always realizes only one of the possibilities in its development, which could always have taken a different turning whenever it has to make an important decision.

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

Life is like a game of cards. The hand you are dealt is determinism; the way you play it is free will.

Everybody is dealt a hand of cards. It was my choice to play them the way I played them.

A spine to my films that's become more evident to me is that many are about the choices people make, and the reverberations of those choices. You go this way, or that way, and either way, there's going to be consequences.

I think people have all faced decisions at times where you never know.

Every day brings new choices.

You are doomed to make choices. This is life's greatest paradox.

We do not choose the day of our birth nor may we choose the day of our death, yet choice is the sovereign faculty of the mind.

There's a point at which we make our lives, but we also take the path which is given to us.

In life, there is good, evil, love, and hatred. What we desire, choose, and need to pursue is in our hands.

Fate is like a train. When it flies past, you can choose if you want to get on it or not, to say no or say yes.

You pick your destiny or maybe destiny picks you. But it picked me to box, definitely.

There's always, always a choice. My options might really, truly suck, but that doesn't mean there isn't a choice.

Choices are the hinges of destiny.

Fate always gives you two choices, the one you should take, and the one you do.

Does the walker choose the path, or the path the walker?

Our lives will depend upon the decisions which we make, for decisions determine destiny.
