Ivan Turgenev Quotes

You are responsible for the choices you make in this life period, end of story.

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.

And the shape of your path was visible from the beginning.

I believe that we have free will. I believe we get the chance to make choices in our lives. Not everything is set in stone from the moment we're born. We choose our destiny, our ultimate fate.

We're racing down a freeway, only to realize we've missed all the exits, and the only direction we can go is dead ahead.

As I get older, I think that things have been pre-determined for me, whether I liked it or wanted it, wished for it, whatever, way before in some way. And with others, you do have a choice that you can change. And that choice that you make is still part of this grand scheme.

Decision equals destiny.
