Losing

Famous quotes containing the word losing:

“My profession brought me in contact with various minds. Earnest, serious discussion on the condition of woman enlivened my business room; failures of banks, no dividends from railroads, defalcations of all kinds, public and private, widows and orphans and unmarried women beggared by the dishonesty, or the mismanagement of men, were fruitful sources of conversation; confidence in man as a protector was evidently losing ground, and women were beginning to see that they must protect themselves.”
—Harriot K. Hunt (1805–1875)

“Southerners can never resist a losing cause.”
—Margaret Mitchell (1900–1949)

“... a full notecase,
Dull Bodley, draught beer, and dark blue,
And most often losing the Boat Race ...”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
