Quote by Oscar Wilde

There is no such thing as an omen. Destiny does not send us heralds. She is too wise or too cruel for that.

There is no such thing as an omen. Destiny does not send us

Summary

This quote suggests that there is no external force or sign that can accurately predict or determine one's destiny. It argues that concepts like omens or predestined indicators are mere illusions. Destiny, seen as a wise or cruel force, does not send clear messages or warnings to individuals. It implies that one's fate is shaped by their own choices and actions rather than outside influences.

To a very large extent men and women are a product of how they define themselves. As a result of a combination of innate ideas and the intimate influences of the culture and environment we grow up in, we come to have beliefs about the nature of being human. These beliefs penetrate to a very deep level of our psychosomatic systems, our minds and brains, our nervous systems, our endocrine systems, and even our blood and sinews. We act, speak, and think according to these deeply held beliefs and belief systems.

So much for endings. Beginnings are always more fun. True connoisseurs, however, are known to favor the stretch in between, since it's the hardest to do anything with. That's about all that can be said for plots, which anyway are just one thing after another, a what and a what and a what.
