Quote by David Paul Kirkpatrick

“Are all things fixed?" Merlin asked the maighstir. "Some are. Most aren't," replied his teacher. "Your fate is what you are born into, but your destiny is what you chose to make of it. The stars control your fate. But your mind, body, and spirit control your destiny.”

“His accidental fortune was beyond calculation, to have been born in 1948 in placid Hampshire, not Ukraine or Poland in 1928, not to have been dragged from the synagogue steps in 1941 and brought here. His white-tiled cell – a piano lesson, a premature love affair, a missed education, a missing wife – was by comparison a luxury suite. If his life so far was a failure, as he often thought, it was in the face of history’s largesse.”
