Losing

Famous quotes containing the word losing:

    I won the battle the wrong way when our worthy Russian generals were losing it the right way.

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

    I have to confess that I had gambled on my soul and lost it with heroic insouciance and lightness of touch. The soul is so impalpable, so often useless, and sometimes such a nuisance, that I felt no more emotion on losing it than if, on a stroll, I had mislaid my visiting card.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
