“No man or woman can live another's fate”
“No worse fate can befall a young man or woman than becoming prematurely entrenched in prudence and negation.”
“No man is offended by another man's admiration of the woman he loves; it is the woman only who can make it a torment.”
“Many a man is given what is intended for another, but no man is given another's fate.”
“I have watched him as only a woman can watch a man upon whom her fate depends, but it has always been in vain.”
“It is not every man's fate to marry the woman who loves him best”
