Famous quotes containing the words losing, trick and/or count:
“Does he who loves someone on account of beauty really love that person? No, for smallpox, which will kill beauty without killing the person, will cause him to love the person no more. And if one loves me for my judgment, for my memory, he does not love me, for I can lose these qualities without losing myself. Where, then, is this myself, if it be neither in the body nor in the soul?”
—Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
“With God, what is terrible is that one never knows whether it’s not just a trick of the devil.”
—Jean Anouilh (1910–1987)
“I came as census-taker to the waste
To count the people in it and found none,
None in the hundred miles, none in the house....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
