“Faith then they vowedFast, unyielding,There each to eachIn oaths binding.Bliss there was bornWhen Brynhild woke;Yet fate is strongTo find its end.”

“With perfect and unyielding faith,With steadfastness, respect, and courtesy,With modesty and conscientiousness,Work calmly for the happiness of others.”

“The way two people can end up in the same place, find each other in a crowd, and change their lives and the lives of the people around them forever... It makes you believe in fate. And fate gives love some authority. Like it's been stamped with approval from above, if you believe in above. A godly green light. Some destined significance.”

“It's not the oath that makes us believe the man, but the man the oath”

“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 that pattern and be happy.”

“when people love each other, they always find each other in the end.”
