Quotes About Destiny

I think we all feel great ambivalence at the sight of our own Horoscope. On the one hand we're proud to see that the sky is imprinted on our individual life, like a postmark with a date stamped on a letter – this makes it distinct, one of a kind. But at the same time it's a form of imprisonment in space, like a tattooed prison number. There's no escaping it. I cannot be someone other than I am. How awful.
~ Olga Tokarczuk
Every Night & every Morn Some to Misery are Born Every Morn & every Night Some are Born to sweet delight, Some are born to Endless Night.

Jedni przychodz? na ?wiat na górze, w s?onecznych rejonach, inni na dole, bez ?wiat?a ludzkie grzyby. Wszystko zdarza si? tylko raz i my sami jeste?my jednorazowi. Nie by?o nas, zanim si? urodzili?my, i nie b?dzie nas jak umrzemy. Raj- to cyfrowy sen. Nikt nas nie wybawi, nie naprawi, nie zado??uczyni. Ka?dego dnia stajemy si? jeszcze bardziej bezradni
~ Olga Tokarczuk

Beyond an ethic of law (certainly not within it as far as the Christian is concerned) we are called, as we gradually deepen our faith, to invent a paradoxical morality, that of creative love. This morality gives precedence to the person, the mystery of the person's nature and destiny, over social ideas of right and justice.

C'è spesso, nella mia vita, una sorta di fatalità. E questa fatalità, non noi, ha determinato ciò che doveva accadere. È accaduto troppo in fretta? Può darsi. Ma le cose importanti come nascere amare e morire non guardano il tempo dell'orologio, mio caro Peer Gynt.
