The fate of Syria hangs in the balance, but it is entirely possible that the fall of the Assad regime will result in anarchy and cause Syria to turn into a second Afghanistan, a base for anti-Israel...

God keeps the wicked to give them time to repent.

Do you not hear the loud gallop of the Storm-riders and the thunderous battle horn from their Heralds, coming from the high seas? Night falls, and so will you.

Cold comradeship do stars provide. They light the closer, inner side of night's vast weight, which, chill and clear, pulls on us like some puppeteer. Its unseen threads to heads and hearts attached,...

Don't ever say you are sorry for "being caught in the moment". Because, at that moment, that is EXACTLY where you wanted to be.

I thought of the new stone, of my new wife, and of the newly buried white bones beneath us, and I felt that fate had made sport of us all.

Can you hear Destiny laugh as she tiptoes toward you? Destiny is heartless.

You Can Not Run From Destiny

I do believe in fate, Anne - not the blind fate that gives one no freedom of choice, but a fate that sets down a pattern for each of our lives and gives us choices, numerous choices, by which to find...

I think of how life takes unexpected twists and turns, sometimes through sheer happenstance, sometimes through calculated decisions. In the end, it can all be called fate, but to me, it is more a...

All live to die, and rise to fall.

The past is a novel, written by Fate, weaving the same themes: love and its glory, hate and its prisoners, the soul and its price. Our decisions become narratives: fated choices that unknowably change...

And then there's the other thing.The thing I'm trying to ignore. The thing I shouldn't want, the thing I can't have.And he's standing in front of me right now.So what do I wish for? Something I'm not...

If it be now, 'tis not to come. If it be not to come, it will be now. If it be not now, yet it will come-the readiness is all.

Death, a necessary end, will come when it will come

We dream to give ourselves hope. To stop dreaming - well, that's like saying you can never change your fate.

Unseen in the background, Fate was quietly slipping lead into the boxing-glove.

He is where he is supposed to be. And yet the place he has found is also of his own choosing. That is a piece of luck not to be despised.

If a dream can tell the future it can also thwart that future. For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come. He is bound to no one that the world unfold just so upon its course and those...

The man who believes that the secrets of the world are forever hidden lives in mystery and fear. Superstition will drag him down. The rain will erode the deeds of his life. But that man who sets...

GOD HAS TAKEN YOUR MOTHER. MY HANDS WERE THE INSTRUMENT. GOD HAS TAKEN MY HANDS. I AM GOD'S INSTRUMENT.

That is a dream also; only he has remained asleep, while you have awakened; and who knows which of you is the most fortunate?

It's no use crying over spilt milk, because all of the forces of the universe were bent on spilling it.

A certain something, he felt, had managed to work its way in through a tiny opening and was trying to fill a blank space inside him. The void was not one that she had made. It had always been there...

A person's destiny is something you look back at afterwards, not something to be known in advance.

Most people trusted in the future, assuming that their preferred version of it would unfold.

You speak of destiny as if it was fixed.
