As a firm believer in fate, I cant help but wonder…

Indeed. You would also have to rethink all moral codes about issues of punishment and reward as apparantly they would come from a determined path, rather than through the will of the individual.

"the future is not set, there is no fate but what we make for ourselves"

Is that from back to the future?

BTTF is "It means your future hasn't been written yet. No-one's has. Your future is whatever you make it. So make it a good one, both of you."

Said by John Conner to the Terminator after seeing Sarah had carved "No Fate" into the table, if I remember correctly

I thought it was part of the message adult John Conner made Kyle memorise to say to Sarah Conner?

That version is from T2 tbh.

The original from The Terminator is:

"Sarah, thank you. For your courage through the dark years. I can't help you with what you must soon face, except to tell you that the future is not set... there is no such thing as Fate, but what we make for ourselves by our own will. You must be stronger than you imagine you can be. You must survive, or I will never exist."
