Famous quotes containing the word loss:
“Parents must not only have certain ways of guiding by prohibition and permission; they must also be able to represent to the child a deep, an almost somatic conviction that there is a meaning to what they are doing. Ultimately, children become neurotic not from frustrations, but from the lack or loss of societal meaning in these frustrations.”
—Erik H. Erikson (20th century)
“Love seeketh only self to please,
To bind another to its delight,
Joys in anothers loss of ease,
And builds a Hell in Heavens despite.”
—William Blake (17571827)
“Our loss put six feet under ground
Is measured by the magnolias root;
Our gains the intellectual sound
Of deaths feet round a weedy tomb.”
—Allen Tate (18991979)
