Uncalled Winning Hand

Famous quotes containing the words winning and/or hand:

    ... the most extreme conditions require the most extreme response, and for some individuals, the call to that response is vitality itself.... The integrity and self-esteem gained from winning the battle against extremity are the richest treasures in my life.
    Diana Nyad (b. 1949)

    We unlearn. I am a shore
    rocking you off. You break from me. I choose
    your only way, my small inheritor
    and hand you off, trembling the selves we lose.
    Go child, who is my sin and nothing more.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
