Fool's Fate
Quotes from the Book
He couldn't shame his father; they hadn't raised him that way. And the blood of the revolution didn't run in his veins. He would have to bury his heart.

If is a word that exists only to drive us crazy. It’s meaningless.
sometimes you meet your fate on the road you took to avoid it.
Many things will happen to us in our lives. Some of them are terribly painful. But remember that life, rightly or wrongly, is for the strong. For those who manage to overcome hurdles, to survive, and finally to win.
And who told you, Fenia, that we are owed happiness in this life? It’s not a birthright, my sweet, it’s an achievement. And like a mathematical equation, it has many, many variables.
