Henry Adams Quotes

When it's your time, it is your time.

Love is not in our choice but in our fate.

Some things can't be changed. They'll always happen the way they were supposed to.

Just an hour with you, and I understand why we had to meet.

You can't fight your fate...It is predestined.

Cause, frankly, the way I see it, you and me? Inevitable.

Things happen in the way they usually should. I'm a pretty fatalistic person.

Everything that has happened had to happen. Everything that must happen cannot be stopped.

Everything that happens is supposed to be And it's all pre-determined, can't change your destiny Guess I'll just keep moving, someday maybe I'll get to where I'm going

I think half of our life is written out for us and things happen the way their supposed to happen.

But the power of destiny is something awesome; neither wealth, nor Ares, nor a tower, nor dark-hulled ships might escape it.

Everything that happens, happens of necessity.

But I must bear my destiny as best I can, knowing well that there is no resisting the strength of necessity.

Men speak of blind destiny, a thing without scheme or purpose. But what sort of destiny is that? Each act in this world from which there can be no turning back has before it another, and it another yet. In a vast endless net. Men imagine that the choices before them are theirs to make. But we are free to act only upon what is given. Choice is lost in the maze of generations and each act in the maze is itself an enslavement for it voids every alternative and binds one ever more tightly into the constraints that make a life.

There's no escaping fate, it just keeps going. Day and night, the future just keeps coming at you.

I remember someone telling me that when he saw the back of a woman's head, he knew that was the woman he was going marry. I laughed that away as silly talk. But I guess when a relationship has to happen, it happens seamlessly. Your partner just walks into your life.

Those who have never known the deep intimacy and the intense companionship of mutual love have missed the best thing that life has to give.

Johnny once described our relationship by saying we were as close as two people could be without being married.

If it is your time, love will track you down like a cruise missile.

Nothing is inevitable with relationships.

I feel about romance the same way I do about a vocation; it's a calling.

Love is such a powerful subject matter because it comes in so many different shapes and sizes. It's about timing, fate, failure, redemption.

Marriage happens; it can't be planned. When it has to happen, it will happen. Normally, what we always believe is that however prepared you are, if it's not meant to happen, it won't. And however much we have not planned, it will still happen if it's destined.

Love to me, God, this is so difficult... To me, love is when you meet that person and you think, 'This is it, this is who I'm supposed to be with.'

I believe life is fated - what's going to happen will happen.
