What is doomed?

Famous quotes containing the word doomed:

    Perhaps I am doomed to retrace my steps under the illusion that I am exploring, doomed to try and learn what I should simply recognize, learning a mere fraction of what I have forgotten.
    André Breton (1896–1966)

    Like two doomed ships that pass in storm
    We had crossed each other’s way:
    But we made no sign, we said no word,
    We had no word to say;
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    A belief in hell and the knowledge that every ambition is doomed to frustration at the hands of a skeleton have never prevented the majority of human beings from behaving as though death were no more than an unfounded rumour.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
