Losing Quotes - page 47
The pain of losing my child was a cleansing experience. I had to throw overboard all excess baggage and keep only what is essential.
Isabel Allende

Walt Disney
Yours (now I'm even losing my name - it was getting shorter and shorter all the time and is now: Yours)
Franz Kafka
We Britons should rejoice that we have contrived to reach much legal democracy (we still need more of the economic) without losing our ceremonial Monarchy.
C. S. Lewis
Appreciative love gazes and holds its breath and is silent, rejoices that such a wonder should exist even if not for him, will not be wholly dejected by losing her, would rather have it so than never to have seen her at all.
C. S. Lewis
When I saw him, he was at the door, but it did not matter, he was already sliding along the wall of the night, losing himself in some crack of the ruins. That it should have been he who said, "The kingfishers! who cares for their feathers now?” His last words had been, "The pool is slime.”.
Charles Olson
We're losing track of the vastness of the potential for computer science. We really have to revive the beautiful intellectual joy of it, as opposed to the business potential.
Jaron Lanier
I don't gamble, because winning a hundred dollars doesn't give me great pleasure. But losing a hundred dollars pisses me off.
Alex Trebek
For one gains by losing And loses by gaining.
Laozi
It is especially painful when narcissists suffer memory loss because they are losing parts of the person they love most.
David Brooks
The poor fatherless baby of eight months is now the utterly broken-hearted and crushed widow of forty-two My life as a happy one is ended the world is gone for me If I must live on (and I will do nothing to make me worse than I am), it is henceforth for our poor fatherless children -- for my unhappy country, which has lost all in losing him -- and in only doing what I know and feel he would wish.
Victoria of the United Kingdom
So you are lean and mean and resourceful and you continue to walk on the edge of the precipice because over the years you have become fascinated by how close you can walk without losing your balance.
Richard Nixon
When we speak of mom winning custody or of dad getting visitation time, we speak of someone winning, someone losing. When we speak of mom or dad spending "parent time” with a child, we speak of two parents, not a parent versus a visitor.
Warren Farrell
What makes a teenage boy's anxiety so overwhelming is that a teenage boy's socialization is the demand to perform without the resources to perform. As a result, not only are his risks many, but his failures many. And so apparent... Second, the biggest winners-the football players-are receiving love via self-abuse. For some boys, receiving love via self-abuse creates anxiety. But losing love creates even more anxiety.
Warren Farrell
What people tend to forget is the journey that I had getting to Formula One. There were plenty of years where I had to learn about losing and having bad races.
Lewis Hamilton
The younger you are, the easier it will be for you to adapt to a new lifestyle or to a new profession. The older you are, the more difficult it is. The thing to watch out for is, being eaten by the system. So if you look at our politicians now, you will see that the older ones have a harder time letting go. And when that happens, they lose their usefulness. The younger ones can handle change, and they can accept losing a position.
Francis Escudero
Quite apart from the fact that it conflicts with the demands and the content of the word of God, nihilism is a denial of the humanity and of the very identity of the human being. It should never be forgotten that the neglect of being inevitably leads to losing touch with objective truth and therefore with the very ground of human dignity.
Pope John Paul II
I have seen the truth; I have seen and I know that people can be beautiful and happy without losing the power of living on earth. I will not and cannot believe that evil is the normal condition of mankind. And it is just this faith of mine that they laugh at.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Frankly, neither of [the presidential candidates'] numbers adds up. But I've come to see a consistent pattern in Obama's. For the life of me, Senator Straight Talk, I see no such straight thing with yours. You rail against big government, yet continue to push cockamamie spending plans that make a mockery of it. That's why you're losing right now, Senator McCain. Not because you don't have the courage of your convictions. But because on economic matters, you have no convictions, period.
John McCain
The problem for John McCain and George Bush is this: they have defined leaving as losing. Therefore, we cannot ever leave.
John McCain
Still we celebrate Ayrton Senna, twenty five years after losing him on May Day 1994. I was in that race, driving the McLaren that he stepped out of to go to Williams. Terrible day... such tragedy, such loss, such a waste of God-given talent. There's only one thing that would make me happier today, and that surprisingly enough is not driving this car, it'd be standing in the pitlane waiting to interview our friend Ayrton after he'd had another drive of this amazing racing car. Obrigado, Senna.
Ayrton Senna
Almost killed me, nothing to be laughed at. But oddly enough it's something that made me. Without that, I probably wouldn't be where I am today, so thank God I almost died. The pain I had to endure of losing my memory and forgetting who I was - that's always still in me. I never explained it until the book, and the songs - what agony that was for me. My greatest sense of achievement was conquering that.
John Lydon
