Robert De Niro Quotes

Choice is destiny's soul mate.

It's the same with menus and men and just about anything else: we think we're choosing things for ourselves, but in fact we may not be choosing anything. It could be that everthing's being decided in advance and we pretend we're making choices. Free will may be an illusion. I often think that.

I hate the word "inevitable" because I feel like things don't have to be the way they are.

I don't really have control over my path - only the Lord does - but I do have control over my decisions.

Every individual acts and suffers in accordance with his peculiar teleology, which has all the inevitability of fate, so long as he does not understand it.

Character and fate are two words for the same thing.

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.
