T. S. Eliot Quotes

Destiny is an absolutely definite and inexorable ruler. Physical ability and moral determination count for nothing. It is impossible to perform the simplest act when the gods say no. I have no idea how they bring pressure to bear on such occasions; I only know that it is irresistible.

But no earthly foot can step between a man and his destiny.

I think 'destiny' is just a fancy word for a psychological pattern.

There is no such thing as accident; it is fate misnamed.

Destiny doesn't make mistakes.

I believe in fate.

I feel like whatever is meant is meant. I feel like this is already written.

You can't fight your fate...It is predestined.

I have made all the calculations; fate will do the rest.

One possible reason that I don't believe in fate is that I wasn't fated to.

I'm a believer that things happen. Fate is what happens.

No power or virtue of man could ever have deserved that what has been fated should not have taken place.

I'm a very big believer in fate.

I don't believe in luck. I believe everything happens for a reason.

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

Men do not shape destiny, Destiny produces the man for the hour.

It is we that are blind, not fortune.

I think there's a path cut for us, a destination mapped out. Everyone ends up where they're meant to be, and how they got there doesn't really matter.

I don't believe in accidents. There are only encounters in history. There are no accidents.

Character and fate are two words for the same thing.

I'm not one of those New Age types that believe 'it's all meant to be' and that our lives have been scripted by an invisible hand.

Not without a shudder may the human hand reach into the mysterious urn of destiny.

I had always been a fatalist about my career. What was to be was to be.
