Losing Quotes (page 48)

All June, I bound the rose in sheaves. Now, rose by rose, I strip the leaves, And strew them where Pauline may pass. She will not turn aside? Alas! Let them lie. Suppose they die? The chance was they might take her eye. How many a month I strove to suit These stubborn fingers to the lute! To-day I venture all I know. She will not hear my music? So! Break the string -- fold music's wing. Suppose Pauline had bade me sing! My whole life long I learned to love. This hour my utmost art I prove... Robert Browning
Suzanne Collins quote: "Winning means fame and fortune. Losing means certain death...."
Winning means fame and fortune. Losing means certain death. The Hunger Games have begu? Suzanne Collins
The fire you rubbed left its brand on the most vulnerable, most vicious and tender point of my body. Now I have to pay for your rasping the red rash too strongly, too soon, as charred wood has to pay for burning. When I remain without your caresses, I lose all control of my nerves, nothing exists any more than the ecstasy of friction, the abiding effect of your sting, of your delicious poison. Vladimir Nabokov
He had long ago learned that society imposes insults that must be borne, comforted by the knowledge that in this world there comes a time when the most humble of men, if he keeps his eyes open, can take his revenge on the most powerful. It was this knowledge that prevented the Don from losing the humility all his friends admired in him. Mario Puzo
Paulo Coelho quote: "All life battles teach us something, even those we lose"
All life battles teach us something, even those we lose Paulo Coelho
If there is a any possible consolation in the tragedy of losing someone we love very much, it's the neccesary hope that perhaps it was for the best. Paulo Coelho
The vanity of existence is revealed in the whole form existence assumes: in the infiniteness of time and space contrasted with the finiteness of the individual in both; in the fleeting present as the sole form in which actuality exists; in the contingency and relativity of all things; in continual becoming without being; in continual desire without satisfaction; in the continual frustration of striving of which life consists. . . Time is that by virtue of which everything becomes nothingness... Arthur Schopenhauer
I tramped through the country. To get the feeling. That I was not a separate thing from the earth. I used to lose myself. By lying with eyes half-open in the woods. Sometimes I talked with animal? Edgar Lee Masters
Wallace Stevens quote: "The imagination loses vitality as it ceases to adhere to what..."
The imagination loses vitality as it ceases to adhere to what is real. Wallace Stevens
Patience is heavenly, obedience is noble, forgiveness is merciful, and exaltation is godly; and he that holds out faithful to the end shall in no wise lose his reward. A good man will endure all things to honor Christ. Joseph Smith, Jr.
Elaine Dundy quote: "Oh, Teddy, darling, thank you, thank you, for restoring my..."
Oh, Teddy, darling, thank you, thank you, for restoring my cynicism. I was too young to lose it. Elaine Dundy
Redemption is something you have to fight for in a very personal, down-dirty way. Some of our characters lose that, some stray from that, and some regain it. Joss Whedon
But there is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it's better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you're fighting for. Paulo Coelho
I am black; I am in total fusion with the world, in sympathetic affinity with the earth, losing my id in the heart of the cosmos -- and the white man, however intelligent he may be, is incapable of understanding Louis Armstrong or songs from the Congo. I am black, not because of a curse, but because my skin has been able to capture all the cosmic effluvia. I am truly a drop of sun under the earth. Frantz Fanon
live in the space between chaos and shape. I walk the line that continually threatens to lose its tautness under me, dropping me into the dark pit where there is no meaning. At other times the line is so wired that it lights up the soles of my feet, gradually my whole body, until I am my own beacon, and I see then the beauty of newly created worlds, a form that is not random. A new beginning. Jeanette Winterson
