Jeanette WintersonFor fate may hang on any moment and at any moment be changed.
About This Quote
The power of fate is widely recognized in many cultures. This quote from Shakespeare reminds us that the future is always uncertain. The past is gone, but the future is ours to create. Consequently, we are never assured of anything in life. There are no guarantees for any of us, but there is always the chance that things will turn out well if we make them our own.
