Sliding down Destiny's rainbow,
Leaving all my worries behind.
Sliding down Destiny's rainbow,
Fate will find me safe in the skies above.

Destiny is a realm of opportunity.

KYONNE M. GIBSON

Expressions of the Heart


Destiny is an absolutely definite and inexorable ruler. Physical ability and moral determination count for nothing. It is impossible to perform the simplest act when the gods say no. I have no idea how they bring pressure to bear on such occasions; I only know that it is irresistible.

ALEISTER CROWLEY

Like destiny's children
Souls lost at sea
No room on the lifeboat
You can hold on to me

It is old age, rather than death, that is to be contrasted with life. Old age is life's parody, whereas death transforms life into a destiny: in a way it preserves it by giving it the absolute dimension. Death does away with time.

Destiny is consciousness of oneself, but consciousness of oneself as an enemy.

Don't you know that what happens to you once always happens again? You always react in the same way to the same thing. It's no accident when you make a mess. Then you do it again. It's called destiny.
