Loss

Famous quotes containing the word loss:

    The loss of enemies does not compensate for the loss of friends.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    Claudio. The old ornament of his cheek hath already stuffed tennis-balls.
    Leonato. Indeed, he looks younger than he did, by the loss of a beard.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    One writes of scars healed, a loose parallel to the pathology of the skin, but there is no such thing in the life of an individual. There are open wounds, shrunk sometimes to the size of a pin-prick but wounds still. The marks of suffering are more comparable to the loss of a finger, or the sight of an eye. We may not miss them, either, for one minute in a year, but if we should there is nothing to be done about it.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
