[edit]fatalist (plural fatalists)
- One who maintains that all things happen by inevitable necessity; a person who believes in fatalism.
- 1867, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, chapter V, in The Gambler, translated by C. J. Hogarth[1]:
- ....it is that, with every day, my love for you increases—though that would seem to be almost an impossibility. Why should I not become a fatalist? Remember how, on the third day that we ascended the Shlangenberg, I was moved to whisper in your ear: 'Say but the word, and I will leap into the abyss.' Had you said it, I should have leapt. Do you not believe me?"
