Famous quotes containing the words losing and/or effort:
“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)
“Inscribe all human effort with one word,
Artistry’s haunting curse, the Incomplete!”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
