Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel Quotes

Events are not a matter of chance.

Chance and intrigue have produced more heroes than genius and virtue.

We make our fortunes and we call them fate.

True love comes when it will, not when it's called.

I always wondered how I could tell when the right one came along - but it was easy. He was the only one that came along.

I believe in fate, never in chance.

Your first kiss is destiny knocking.

I know, you love me and soon you will see, you were meant for me and I was meant for you

The web of this world is woven of Necessity and Chance. Woe to him who has accustomed himself from his youth up to find something necessary in what is capricious, and who would ascribe something like reason to Chance and make a religion of surrendering to it.

Necessity and chance Approach not me, and what I will is fate.

Like a river flows surely to the sea/Darling so it goes/Some things are meant to be/Take my hand, take my whole life too/For I can't help falling in love with you.

The future was with Fate. The present was our own.

Life is mere chance only when one allows it to be.

This was love: a string of coincidences that gathered significance and became miracles.

What must be shall be; and that which is a necessity to him that struggles, is little more than choice to him that is willing.

Certainly. My whole life has been decided by fate. I think something more powerful than we are decides our fates for us. I know one thing – I've never planned anything that ever happened to me.

Life is a compromise between fate and free will.

If you want guarantees in life, then you don't want life. You want rehearsals for a script that's already been written. Life by its nature cannot have guarantees, or its whole purpose is thwarted.

Free will without fate is no more conceivable than spirit without matter, good without evil.

What if things happened to you—special, magic things—because you’d been preparing for them?

You have to be proactive about your destiny and then realize that the other half of it is completely out of your control. I think it's fascinating.
