Quote by Friedrich von Schiller

There is no such thing as chance; and what seem to us merest accident springs from the deepest source of destiny.

There is no such thing as chance; and what seem to us merest

Summary

This quote suggests that chance is merely an illusion. It implies that events labeled as accidents or coincidences are not random occurrences but rather rooted in fate or destiny. It contends that these seemingly insignificant happenings hold deeper meanings or connections within the larger cosmic order. Thus, it encourages the idea that everything is interconnected and purposeful, transcending the concept of chance.

They'll have a good laugh, because by then there will be newer better fantasies... And meanwhile, you feel the way the boat moves? That's the sea. That's real. You smell the salt in the air? You feel the sunlight on your skin? That's all real. Life is wonderful. It's a gift to be alive, to see the sun and breathe the air. And there isn't really anything else.
