"But it was equally clear to her that this was her fate, that she had called its name and it had come to her, and she could do nothing now but own it."

I don't believe in fate. I don't believe in cushioning your insecurities with a system of belief that tells you 'Don't worry. This may be your life but you're not in control. There is something or someone looking out for you -- it's already organised.' It's all chance and choice, which is far more frightening.
