“Life is about making mistakes. If you don’t take chances, blindfolded and frightened as you are, you’re not really living, are you? Heartache makes you stronger. Misery is the stuff of good poetry. You’re denying yourself much more than the bad things in life by listening to Zita’s fortunes.”
“All times are connected. Treasure each moment.”
“Focus on your destination but enjoy every sacred moments of the journey”
“We have enough grace for everything.”
“It was not a coincidence. It was not deja vu. It was destiny. It was my destiny to meet her.”
“And then there s the other thing. The thing I m trying to ignore. The thing I shouldn t want, the thing I can t have. And he s standing in front of me right now. So what do I wish for? Something I m not sure I want? Someone I m not sure I need? Or someone I know I can t have? Screw it. Let the fates decide. I wish for the thing that is best for me. How s that for a generalization? I open my eyes, and the wind is blowing harder. St. Clair pushes a strand of hair from his eyes. Must have been a good one, he says.”
“Ayaklarımız kaskatı kesilinceye kadar evde oturup yaşlılığın gelip çatmasını beklemek, senin benim gibi insanlara göre değil de ondan. diyor Zeyd, gülümseyerek, Hem evlerine tıkılan insanlar da ölmüyor mu sanki? Nereye giderse gitsin, insan kaderini boynunda taşımıyor mu?”
“That part of your life is over. Set it aside as something you have finished. Complete or no, it is done with you. No being gets to decide what his life is supposed to be ... Be a man. Discover where you are now, and go on from there, making the best of things. Accept your life, and you might survive it. If you hold back from it, insisting this is not your life, not where you are meant to be, life will pass you by. You may not die from such foolishness, but you might as well be dead for all the good your life will do you or anyone else.”
“Don t let anyone tell your story. Pick up a pen and write your own.”
“In the quantum multiverse, every choice, every decision you ve ever and never made exists in an unimaginably vast ensemble of parallel universes.”
“She d thought there was no greater connection than destiny decreeing them joined. But there was - the choice they d made to love each other.”
“If fate doesn t make you laugh, then you just don t get the joke.”
“Destiny sees things as they are, not as we would wish them to be. He knows there are no stories, only the illusion of stories: threads and patterns that seem to appear in the pages of existence given meaning and significance by the observer. Destiny observes worlds and molecules like motes of dust hanging in a sunbeam: every movement, every moment inevitable. Destiny walks the paths of his garden, a place of forks and paths which combine and part, seeing only what is. He is surprised by nothing. There is nothing that can surprise him, nothing that was not already written in his book.”
“Destiny reveals itself only when there is truth and action.”
“Hidden inside every flower are seeds of imagination, destiny and future dreams.”
“Everyone has a destiny. Rosie told me that. A future that already exists – hidden from us but still there, in the future – and each thing that happens to us, each choice we make, each person in our life takes us closer to it.”
“Our dreams define our destiny.”
