“Remember this: Nothing is written in the stars. Not these stars, nor any others. No one controls your destiny.”

“It was almost as if my screwing everything up was beyond my control, destined, written in the stars.”

“You don't find love, it finds you. It's got a little bit to do with destiny, fate, and what's written in the stars.”

“People have stars, but they aren't the same. For travelers, the stars are guides. For other people, they're nothing but tiny lights. And for still others, for scholars, they're problems... But all those stars are silent stars. You, though, you'll have stars like nobody else... since I'll be laughing on one of them, for you it'll be as if all the stars are laughing. You'll have stars that can laugh!... and it'll be as if I had given you, instead of stars, a lot of tiny bells that know how to laugh ...”

“It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.”

“Destiny lies not in the stars, but in our hearts.”
