Losing Effort

Famous quotes containing the words losing and/or effort:

    Adolescents may be, almost simultaneously, overconfident and riddled with fear. They are afraid of their overpowering feelings, of losing control, of helplessness, of failure. Sometimes they act bold, to counteract their imperious yearnings to remain children. They are impulsive, impetuous, moody, disagreeable, overdemanding, underappreciative. If you don’t understand them, remember, they don’t understand themselves most of the time.
    Stella Chess (20th century)

    Our emotions
    Are only “incidents”
    In the effort to keep day and night together.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
