A Quote by Eleanor Roosevelt

So, after all, we are but puppets, creatures of our fate, not commanding it but being molded by it.

October 11, 1884 - November 7, 1962

You can exaggerate with puppets. You're not trying to look like real people. The way the Muppets are designed is really appealing. Puppets are best if they're exaggerated creatures.

Caroll Spinney

It may be that we are puppets-puppets controlled by the strings of society. But at least we are puppets with perception, with awareness. And perhaps our awareness is the first step to our liberation. (1974)

Stanley Milgram

I think part of being a parent, to love one's child, is to accept them as they come - not to see them as instruments of our ambition or as creatures to be molded, as if they were themselves commodities.

Michael Sandel

We're also irreverent, we have an irreverent attitude towards puppets, as well. So a lot of what we do is we're kind of making fun of the puppets for being puppets, even while we're doing it. And again, that all feeds into the absurdity of this show.

Brian Henson

My faith is that I don't believe in fate! We are not puppets or zombies of destiny. We are the main painters of our life's canvas.

Mehmet Murat Ildan

The question is, do we have a shadow government? And, if we do, who are those intelligent minority that is -- that is guiding us through? And where are they guiding us to? If you skip past all of the puppets and the strings, if you stop looking at the puppets themselves, you have to see who's behind the puppets. Who is choosing the puppets and the players? Who's the puppet master? George Soros.

Glenn Beck

Julian once wrote that coincidences are the scars of fate. There are no coincidences, Daniel. We are puppets of our subconscious desires.

Carlos Ruiz Zafon

We are all puppets in the hands of fate and seldom see the strings.

Charles W. Chesnutt

Every high C accurately struck demolishes the theory that we are the irresponsible puppets of fate or chance.

W. H. Auden

We are only puppets, our strings are being pulled by unknown forces.

Georg Buchner

Let man only approach his own self with a deep respect, even reverence for all that the creative soul, the God-mystery within us, puts forth. Then we shall all be sound and free. Lewdness is hateful because it impairs our integrity and our proud being. The creative, spontaneous soul sends forth its promptings of desire and aspiration in us. These promptings are our true fate, which is our business to fulfill. A fate dictated from outside, from theory or from circumstance, is a false fate.

D. H. Lawrence

I do a public access show with puppets. Puppets called actors, TV and movie stars.

Craig Ferguson

Being condemned by fate to perpetual togetherness, we better make that shared fate into our shared, consciously and gladly embraced, destiny.

Zygmunt Bauman

Puppets interacting with other puppets is super complicated. You're juggling ten balls instead of three.

Duke Johnson

In seeking to avoid evil, humanity is responsible for bringing more evil into the world than organisms could ever do merely by exercising their digestive tracts. It is our ingenuity, rather than our animal nature, that has given our fellow creatures such a bitter earthly fate.

Ernest Becker

Timing. We give it many names: Destiny, Fate, Kismet, the will of God. Whatever we call it, lives are changed and molded by it, in small or drastic ways beyond our control. The precise, exquisite influence of timing moves people into new positions as surely as a spring flood rearranges the landscape. It is as unavoidable as life.
