For rarely man escapes his destiny.

XVIII, 58Ludovico Ariosto
» Ludovico Ariosto - all quotes »
My destiny was exceptional. Not because of false modesty but because of a wish to be accurate I note that my destiny has turned out to be larger than my personality. I've simply tried to live up to my destiny.
Andrei Sakharov
Tragedy dramatizes human life as potentiality and fulfillment. Its virtual future, or Destiny, is therefore quite different from that created in comedy. Comic Destiny is Fortune—what the world will bring, and the man will take or miss, encounter or escape; tragic Destiny is what the man brings, and the world will demand of him. That is his Fate.
Susanne Langer
I don't have emotions about a lot of things. I rarely get angry, I rarely cry. I guess I do get excited a lot, but I don't get sad and enormously happy.
Leonardo DiCaprio
People rarely win wars; governments rarely lose them. -Speech on US invasion of Afghanistan

Who never wins can rarely lose,
