Books are a better investment in our future than bullets. Books, not bullets, will pave the path towards peace and prosperity.

Malala Yousafzai

The gods have their own laws. [Lat., Sunt superis sua jura.]

Ovid

'100 Bullets' is a novel on its own. 'Brother Lono,' other than the main character, has nothing to do with '100 Bullets.'

Brian Azzarello

Books have their destinies like men. And their fates, as made by generations of readers, are very different from the destinies foreseen for them by their authors. Gulliver's Travels, with a minimum of expurgation, has become a children's book; a new illustrated edition is produced every Christmas. That's what comes of saying profound things about humanity in terms of a fairy story.

Aldous Huxley

Books have their destinies.

Horace

It's true, too, that I'm tired of using books as political bullets and grenades. Books are too precious and wonderful to be used for long in such a fashion.

Yann Martel

It brought back to mind the injustice I spoke of, the solitude that oppresses women intent on defending their own destinies, their own dreams, their own mistakes.

Oriana Fallaci

Miguel Serrano

I believe that we must assist free peoples to work out their own destinies in their own way.

Harry S. Truman

Aures habent et non audient` - `They have ears but hear not

Jules Verne

The Washington Bullets are changing their name. They don't want their team to be associated with crime. From now on, they'll just be known as the Bullets.

Jay Leno

Bullets on a presentation slide are too often like bullets in a gun - deadly for those on the receiving end.

John Zimmer

People make their own destinies.

David Draiman

We are all masters of our own destinies.

Paulo Coelho

People who disagree with His Excellency, the President for Life and 'Chief of Chiefs,' are frequently found to be the victims of car crashes (their bodies mysteriously riddled with bullets); or dead in their beds of heart attacks (their bodies mysteriously riddled with bullets); or the recipients of some not-quite-fresh seafood (their bodies mysteriously riddled with bullets).

Alexandra Fuller

But I do think it's important to remember that writers do not have a monopoly of wisdom on their books. They can be wrong about their own books, they can often learn about their own books.
