Memory belongs to the imagination.

Alain Robbe-Grillet Writer

What do young girls dream of? Of the knife and of blood.

Alain Robbe-Grillet Writer

The true writer has nothing to say. What counts is the way he says it.

Alain Robbe-Grillet Writer

the world is neither meaningful, nor absurd. it quite simply is, and that, in any case, is what is so remarkable about it.

Alain Robbe-Grillet Writer

What is opportunity, and when does it knock? It never knocks. You can wait a whole lifetime, listening, hoping, and you will hear no knocking. None at all. You are opportunity, and you must knock on the door leading to your destiny. You prepare yourself to recognize opportunity, to pursue and seize opportunity as you develop the strength of your personality, and build a self-image with which you are able to live - with your self-respect alive and growing.

Maxwell Maltz Author

And his paths shall be many, and who shall know his name, for he shall be beorn among us many times, in many guises, as he has been and ever will be, time without end. His coming shall be like the sharp edge of the plow, turning our lives in furrows form out of the places where we lie in our silence. The breaker of binds; the forger of chains. The maker of futures; the unshaper of destiny. -from Commentaries on the Prophecies of the Dragon, by Jurith Dorine, Right Hand to the Queen of Almoren, 742 AB, the Third Age

Robert Jordan Author

Because your own strength is unequal to the task, do not assume that it is beyond the powers of man; but if anything is within the powers and province of man, believe that it is within your own compass also.

Marcus Aurelius Roman Emperor

Destiny is as destiny does. If you believe you have no control, then you have no control.

Wess Roberts Author

Nations, as well as man, almost always betray the most prominent features of their future destiny in their earliest years. When I contemplate the ardour with which the Anglo-Americans prosecute commercial enterprise, the advantages which befriend them, and the success of their undertakings, I cannot refrain from believing that they will one day become the first maritime power of the globe. They are born to rule the seas, as the Romans were to conquer the world.

Alexis De Tocqueville Historian

Love, like destiny, loves surprises.

Amelia Barr Novelist
