A Simple Twist of Fate

A Simple Twist of Fate
The words of Jack Fate

"Yeah I dream, in my dreams I'm walking through fire with intense heat.
but I don't pay any attention to my dreams"

"Some of us pursue perfection and virtue and, if we're lucky, we catch up to it.
But happiness can't be pursued. It either comes to you or it don't."

"The sacred is in the ordinary."

"Expect the worst and you'll get it."

"All of us in some way are trying to kill time. When it's all said and done, time ends up killing us."

"Sometimes it's not enough to know what things mean. Sometimes we have to
know what things don't mean as well."

"The way we look at the world is the way we really are. See it from a fair
garden and everything looks cheerful. Climb to a higher plateau and you'll
see plunder and murder."
