Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Whatever limits us, we call Fate

Whatever limits us, we call Fate

Summary

This quote suggests that when we encounter circumstances or obstacles that constrain or restrict us, we tend to attribute them to some predestined force or external factor that we have no control over. We use the term "Fate" to describe these limitations or constraints. It implies a belief in the existence of predetermined outcomes or events that shape our lives, which may absolve us from taking responsibility for our choices and actions. It highlights how we often find comfort or solace in framing certain aspects of our lives as beyond our control.

She puts her hands on either side of my face, and the room falls away. I have never gotten so lost in a kiss before. And then, the space between us explodes. My heart keeps missing beats and my hands cannot bring her close enough to me. I taste her and realize I have been starving. I have loved before, but it didn't feel like this.I have kissed before, but it didn't burn me alive. Maybe it lasts a minute, and maybe it's an hour. All I know is that kiss, and how soft her skin is when it brushes against mine, and that even if I did not know it until now, I have been waiting for this person forever.

Before the beginning of yearsThere came to the making of manTime, with a gift of tears; Grief, with a glass that ran; Pleasure, with pain for leaven; Summer, with flowers that fell; Remembrance, fallen from heaven, And madness risen from hell; Strength without hands to smite; Love that endures for a breath; Night, the shadow of light, And Life, the shadow of death.
