Everything happens kind of the way it's supposed to happen, and we just watch it unfold. And you can't control it. Looking back, you can't say, 'I should've... ' You didn't, and had you, the outcome would have been different.
Man blindly works the will of fate.
Sometimes history takes things into its own hands.
What's meant to be will always find a way.
Detachment is what interests me, seeing how people couldn't have been any other way, how they were the product of forces that they had no control over.
Fate will find a way.
Nothing ever happens till it happens.
I disagree with the idea that everything happens for a reason.
Fate is not an eagle, it creeps like a rat.
This world is run with far too tight a rein for luck to interfere. Fortune sells her wares; she never gives them. In some form or other, we pay for her favors; or we go empty away.
Whatever your purpose is that leads you to the point of no return, that's where you go.
Fate keeps on happening.
There is no armor against fate.
I get the impression sometimes that a play arrives in a sequence of events that I have no control over.
There's this classic car crash thing about 'Macbeth.' You can just see this car driving at 100 mph towards this brick wall, and you can't do anything about it, and the characters are desperately trying to stop it and can't.
There's very few people - like Shakespeare - who, no matter what, were gonna do what they did. For the rest of us, there's a lot of events that have to happen in order for things to end up the way they are.
