Destiny

“As for omens, there is no such thing as an omen. Destiny does not send us heralds. She is too wise or too cruel for that.”
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray (Lord Henry Wotton)

“One’s days were too brief to take the burden of another’s errors on one’s shoulders. Each man lived his own life, and paid his own price for living it. The only pity was one had to pay so often for a single fault. One had to pay over and over again, indeed. In her dealings with man Destiny never closed her accounts.”
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
