I thought for a minute there I saw her whipped. Maybe I did. But I see now that it don't make any difference.... To beat her you don't have to whip her two out of three or three out of five, but every time you meet. As soon as you let down your guard, as soon as you lose once, she's won for good. And eventually we all got to lose. Nobody can help that.

 

Ken Kesey

 

You Own Your Own Life...
To lose your Life is to lose your Future, to lose your Liberty is to lose your Present
…and to lose the product of your Life and Liberty is to lose that portion of your Past that produced it
A product of your Life and Liberty is your Property.

 

Ken Schoolland

 

He either fears his fate too much,
Or his deserts are small,
That dares not put it to the touch
To gain or lose it all.

 

James Graham

 

It seems to me as good as certain that we cannot get the upper hand against England. The English — the best race in the world — cannot lose! We, however, can lose and shall lose, if not this year then next year. The thought that our race is going to be beaten depresses me terribly, because I am completely German.

 

Ludwig Wittgenstein

 

I no longer have collaborators. I used to be envious of them. They repel those readers whom I want to lose myself.
