“Fate can be one mean god at times.”

“If one can travel through time, fate needn't be absolute.”

“Maybe Life is random. No fate. No God. Just Time.”

“To ransom one lost moment with a rhyme!Or if fate and grudging gods demure,To clutch Life's hair, and thrust one naked phraseLike a lean knife between the ribs of time.”

“Fates are woven not by gods, but by the choices of humans--their greed and jealousies, their loves and courage...Fate is but one moment the gods extend to us, a test for us, but it is the choices we make that take us to that fate, or away. And so I will forge my own life!”

“The Fifth Commandment of the Decalogue demands that one honor one's mother and father. That is not about calling home. It is about this: Their God is your God, their friends are your friends, their debts are your debts, their enemies are your enemies and their fate is your fate.”
