Fate isn’t one straight road…there are forks in it, many different routes to different ends. We have the free will to choose the path.

Dean Koontz
About This Quote

In the past, people believed that fate was a straight road that led to a predetermined destination. In reality, this is not the case. Instead, fate is one road with many forks along the way. Those who have lived have had to choose which fork to take at any given time. It’s a decision, and it’s a choice.
