Let me not then die ingloriously and without a struggle, but let me first do some great thing that shall be told among men hereafter. ~ Homer
Achilles Fate quotes by Homer
The gods envy us. They envy us because we're mortal, because any moment may be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again. ~ Brad Pitt
Achilles Fate quotes by Brad Pitt
Is he not sacred, even to the gods, the wandering man who comes in weariness? ~ Homer
Achilles Fate quotes by Homer
No one can hurry me down to Hades before my time, but if a man's hour is come, be he brave or be he coward, there is no escape for him when he has once been born. ~ Homer
Achilles Fate quotes by Homer
Why have you come to me here, dear heart, with all these instructions? I promise you I will do everything just as you ask. But come closer. Let us give in to grief, however briefly, in each other's arms. ~ Homer
Achilles Fate quotes by Homer
My life is more to me than all the wealth of Ilius ~ Homer
Achilles Fate quotes by Homer
His descent was like nightfall. ~ Homer
Achilles Fate quotes by Homer
I wish that strife would vanish away from among gods and mortals, and gall, which makes a man grow angry for all his great mind, that gall of anger that swarms like smoke inside of a man's heart and becomes a thing sweeter to him by far than the dripping of honey. ~ Homer
Achilles Fate quotes by Homer
Like a girl, a baby running after her mother, begging to be picked up, and she tugs on her skirts, holding her back as she tries to hurry off - all tears, fawning up at her, till she takes her in her arms ... That's how you look, Patroclus, streaming live tears. ~ Homer
Achilles Fate quotes by Homer
Why so much grief for me? No man will hurl me down to Death, against my fate. And fate? No one alive has ever escaped it, neither brave man nor coward, I tell you - it's born with us the day that we are born. ~ Homer
Achilles Fate quotes by Homer
Like the generations of leaves, the lives of mortal men. Now the wind scatters the old leaves across the earth, now the living timber bursts with the new buds and spring comes round again. And so with men: as one generation comes to life, another dies away. ~ Homer
Achilles Fate quotes by Homer
Fear, O Achilles, the wrath of heaven; think on your own father and have compassion upon me, who am the more pitiable ~ Homer
Achilles Fate quotes by Homer
No man or woman born, coward or brave, can shun his destiny. ~ Homer
Achilles Fate quotes by Homer
Achilles glared at him and answered, Fool, prate not to me about covenants. There can be no covenants between men and lions, wolves and lambs can never be of one mind, but hate each other out and out an through. Therefore there can be no understanding between you and me, nor may there be any covenants between us, till one or other shall fall ~ Homer
Achilles Fate quotes by Homer
Fate didn't care a squick about what anybody was meant to do. ~ Scott Westerfeld
Achilles Fate quotes by Scott Westerfeld
Abortion is the insurance against that fate worse than death which is called a family. ~ Peter Kreeft
Achilles Fate quotes by Peter Kreeft
[In] the realm of science, ... what we have achieved will be obsolete in ten, twenty or fifty years. That is the fate, indeed, that is the very meaning of scientific work ... Every scientific "fulfillment" raises new "questions" and cries out to be surpassed rendered obsolete. Everyone who wishes to serve science has to resign himself to this. ~ Max Weber
Achilles Fate quotes by Max Weber
We are only underlings of fate if we choose to let the wills of others shape our lives."
-Thomas Richards ~ Josi S. Kilpack
Achilles Fate quotes by Josi S. Kilpack
Life flows on over death as water closes over a stone dropped into a pool ... Fate is certain; death is certain; but the courage and nobility of men and women matter more than these. ~ Winifred Holtby
Achilles Fate quotes by Winifred Holtby
The sage says that all that is under heaven incurs the same law and the same fate. ~ Michel De Montaigne
Achilles Fate quotes by Michel De Montaigne
Hope is not some thin thing that is subject to the winds of fate, but it is crafted hard by the hands of God. ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
Achilles Fate quotes by Craig D. Lounsbrough
He ran his hand up and down his left achilles tendon. Very tender; better pay attention to it and back off if it gets any worse. Maybe ice it. The old Injury Evasion Fandango. Did it ever end? ~ John L. Parker Jr.
Achilles Fate quotes by John L. Parker Jr.
My secret to survival has been embracing life's challenges and not letting them dictate my frame of mind or determine my fate ... Learning to stand strong in the face of challenge and adversity is the only way to get through the tough times. ~ Sandra Lee
Achilles Fate quotes by Sandra Lee

What in the world could this family have done to deserve a fate such as this? ~ Michael Jay
Achilles Fate quotes by Michael Jay
You can change the road you take, but sometimes it can bend back to lead you straight to that same stubborn fate. ~ Dean Koontz
Achilles Fate quotes by Dean Koontz
The course of our lives follows ancient and immutable laws, with an ancient, changeless rhythm. Dreams never come true, and the instant they are shattered, we realize how the greatest joys of life lie beyond the realm of reality. The instant they are shattered we are sick with longing for the days when they flamed within us. Our fate spends itself in this succession of hope and nostalgia. ~ Natalia Ginzburg
Achilles Fate quotes by Natalia Ginzburg
I always put in my 100 percent. Once the film is over, I look at my next, because then it's up to the audience to decide my fate. ~ Ravi Teja
Achilles Fate quotes by Ravi Teja
Lying there in silence, Elim thought about how quickly a person's fate could change, how precious life and health are. He had walked into this very room two days ago as a practicing physician, a man in control, with the power to heal, looking down on the sick American on the same bed where he himself now lay. He had never known just how different the world looked from the other side.
He vowed that if he became well, he would cherish every day. And although he had never wished ill health on another person, there and then he wondered if every physician might benefit from being sick - really sick - just once. He wondered if it would make them all care a little more, or work a little harder, to have been on the other side for a while - to have placed their life and livelihood in the hands of a stranger, even if for only a short period. He had considered himself a very conscientious physician before this, but he imagined that if he lived, he would be even more dedicated to his patients.
Staring at the ceiling, he was reminded of an old Indian proverb: A healthy person has a hundred wishes, but a sick person has only one. ~ A.G. Riddle
Achilles Fate quotes by A.G. Riddle
The human heart has a tiresome tendency to label as fate only what crushes it. But happiness likewise, in its way, is without reason, since it is inevitable. ~ Albert Camus
Achilles Fate quotes by Albert Camus
From this day forward, I vowed
to myself, I was in control of my life. Not fate, not
God, not even Chris was ever again going to tell me what to do, or
dominate me in any way. From this day forward, I was my own person, to
take what I would, when I would, and I would answer only to myself. ~ V.C. Andrews
Achilles Fate quotes by V.C. Andrews
When an inner situation is not made conscious, it appears outside as fate. ~ Carl Jung
Achilles Fate quotes by Carl Jung
Nico was wrong. The Book of Fate isn't already written. It's written every day.
Some scars never heal.
Then again, some do. ~ Brad Meltzer
Achilles Fate quotes by Brad Meltzer
What's the world's greatest lie?' The boy asked, completely surprised.
'It's this: that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That is the world's greatest lie. ~ Paulo Coelho
Achilles Fate quotes by Paulo Coelho
Providence has given human wisdom the choice between two fates: either hope and agitation, or hopelessness and calm. ~ Yevgeny Baratynsky
Achilles Fate quotes by Yevgeny Baratynsky
We take the names of madmen, because madness is our fate. Terribly melodramatic, that. ~ Michael Grant
Achilles Fate quotes by Michael Grant
No trees in sight, just concrete
Still I see
Two roads twist and turn in front of me
No signs, but screams
Which way's reality?
So you choose; yeah, you choose
Maybe you lose
The sidewalk paved in hitches
Broken hearts not fixed by stitches
But morning's coming soon
No right in sight, just questions
And you find
There is no map to Mecca
It's just life
No right answer; perfect marks
It's no big deal; it's just your heart
Falling stars and lightning sparks
This will only sting a bit
We are all just
Magnets for fate
Stumbling, skipping, running at our pace
Making choices, losing voices
Making wishes for forgiveness
But morning's coming soon

And no matter where you sit, how fast you sip
The coffee tastes the same on magnet lips

"Magnets for Fate"
-Electric Freakshow ~ Cat Patrick
Achilles Fate quotes by Cat Patrick
I'm not, even if you think I am. But no matter what this started out as ... an accident, fate, whatever - I'm glad you found me that night. Not because of what happened, but because of now. Because I get to be here with you. And I'm scared, too, but - but thank you for telling me today. Thank you for trusting me with that. I've never ... " I pressed my lips together, trying to find the right words. "I've never felt like this for anyone. And I'm not really sure what falling in love feels like, but I think - I know I have. With you. ~ Aimee Carter
Achilles Fate quotes by Aimee Carter
Be free from vanity and pride. Be free from belief, disbelief, convictions, and parties. Be free from habit. Be free from ambition and greed. Be free from family and surroundings. Be free from fanaticism. Be free from fate; be master of your own life. Be free from death; life depends on the will of others, but death on our own will. ~ Sarah Bakewell
Achilles Fate quotes by Sarah Bakewell
God does not interfere with fate; he simply helps man cope with it. ~ Devdutt Pattanaik
Achilles Fate quotes by Devdutt Pattanaik
He had loved is mother and his child, everything that it was not up to him to choose. And after all he, who had challenged everything, questioned everything, he had never loved anything except what was inevitable. The people fate had imposed on him, the world as it appeared to him, everything in his life he had not been able to avoid, his illness, his vocation, fame or poverty--in a word, his star. For the rest, for everything he had to choose, he made himself love, which is not the same thing. No doubt he had known the feeling of wonderment, passion, and even moments of tenderness. But each moment had sent him on to other moments, each person to others, and he had loved nothing he had chosen, except what was little by little imposed on him by circumstance, had lasted as much by accident as by intention, and finally became necessary: Jessica. The heart, the heart above all is not free. It is inevitability and the recognition of the inevitable. And he, in truth, had never wholeheartedly loved other than the inevitable. All that was left for him was to love his own death. ~ Albert Camus
Achilles Fate quotes by Albert Camus
I think now we are simply strangers with some memories. ~ Tan Redding
Achilles Fate quotes by Tan Redding
The hands of Fate keep time on a heart-shaped watch.
- Harkat Mulds(The Trials of Death) ~ Darren Shan
Achilles Fate quotes by Darren Shan
What people commonly call fate is mostly their own stupidity. ~ Arthur Schopenhauer
Achilles Fate quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
Fate clearly has a twisted sense of humor. ~ Sayantani DasGupta
Achilles Fate quotes by Sayantani DasGupta
Dear Fate, Go away. Leave me be. Allow me to live with my loss, the truth, this revelation. ~ Christine Brae
Achilles Fate quotes by Christine Brae
It would be nice to believe that we humans were designed to love everyone unconditionally. Nice, but rather unlikely from an evolutionary perspective. Parochial love - love within groups - amplified by similarity, a sense of shared fate, and the suppression of free riders, may be the most we can accomplish. ~ Jonathan Haidt
Achilles Fate quotes by Jonathan Haidt
You are a Chosen Man. You are Parmenion, the Death of Nations. A hundred thousand souls will you
send to the dark river, screaming and wailing, lamenting their fate. It is right and just that you
should know your choices. ~ David Gemmell
Achilles Fate quotes by David Gemmell
It's an evil fate to fall into the hands of a persecutor who was once persecuted. ~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Achilles Fate quotes by Bangambiki Habyarimana
A nation is a totality of men united through community of fate into a community of character. ~ Otto Bauer
Achilles Fate quotes by Otto Bauer
You want to know what I believe? I believe in fate, but I also believe in free will. Meaning, there's a path, but we're free to veer away from it. The only problem is that there's no way to know whose path we're following on any given moment. Our own? Our fate's? Other people are on their on paths, too. What happens when we intersect? What happens when someone else wipes our path clean, and we're left with no road to follow? Is that fate? Is that when free will kicks in? Is the path there, but invisible?
Who the hell knows? ~ Brigid Kemmerer
Achilles Fate quotes by Brigid Kemmerer
In the morning when Mrs. Pollifax awoke she realized at once that a fateful day was beginning. She lay and thought about this dispassionately, almost wonderingly, because to every life there eventually came a moment when one had to accept the fact that the shape, the pattern, the direction of the future was entirely out of one's hands, to be decided unalterably by chance, by fate or by God. There was nothing to do but accept, and from this to proceed, doing the very best that could be done. ~ Dorothy Gilman
Achilles Fate quotes by Dorothy Gilman
Breathlessly you reach the station just as the train is arriving! But alas, the train doesn't stop. It keeps going. It doesn't care how forlorn you look as it passes by. It doesn't even see you! But wait. What's that sound in the distance? Another train is coming soon and it is yours. A train that will take you to a more beautiful place. ~ Kate McGahan
Achilles Fate quotes by Kate McGahan
You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here
Yeah
No one to call
Everybody to fear
Your tragic fate is looking so clear
Yeah
Oooooooh
It's your fucking nightmare
-Nightmare ~ Avenged Sevenfold
Achilles Fate quotes by Avenged Sevenfold
The rats had crept out of their holes to look on, and they remained looking on for hours; soldiers and police often passing between them and the spectacle, and making a barrier behind which they slunk, and through which they peeped. The father had long ago taken up his bundle and hidden himself away with it, when the women who had tended the bundle while it lay on the base of the fountain, sat there watching the running of the water and the rolling of the Fancy Ball - when the one woman who had stood conspicuous, knitting, still knitted on with the steadfastness of Fate. The water of the fountain ran, the swift river ran, the day ran into evening, so much life ran in the city ran into death according to rule, time and tide waited for no man, the rats were sleeping close together in their dark holes again, the Fancy Ball was lighted up at supper, all things ran their course ~ Charles Dickens
Achilles Fate quotes by Charles Dickens
But you certainly don't have perspective. And there's so much pressure going into that opening night because you know there's journalists, tons of acquisitions people, and the fate of your film in some ways, if not decided, is really affected by how it screens that night. ~ James Ponsoldt
Achilles Fate quotes by James Ponsoldt
The malignancy of my fate might perhaps distemper yours. Therefore I shall crave of you your leave that I may bear my evils alone. It ~ William Shakespeare
Achilles Fate quotes by William Shakespeare
To properly engage in magical thinking, I find you have to think of every possible ghastly scenario. That's the only way you outsmart fate. ~ A.J. Jacobs
