Quote by Elizabeth Bowen

Fate is not an eagle, it creeps like a rat.

Fate is not an eagle, it creeps like a rat.

Summary

This quote suggests that fate is not a powerful force that swoops down like an eagle, but rather it is subtle and sneaky like a rat. It implies that fate operates in a way that can go unnoticed or overlooked, slowly working its influence over time. This could be interpreted to mean that the outcomes and events in our lives are not always grand or dramatic, but rather the result of small, unnoticed forces gradually shaping our path.
