“'Tis not where we lie, but whence we fell; The loss of heaven's the greatest pain in hell.”
Pedro Calderon de la Barca
“Reckoned physiologically, everything ugly weakens and afflicts man. It recalls decay, danger, impotence; he actually suffers a loss of energy in its presence. The effect of the ugly can be measured with a dynamometer. Whenever man feels in any way depressed, he senses the proximity of something ''ugly.'' His feeling of power, his will to power, his courage, his pride -- they decline with the ugly, they increase with the beautiful.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“War kills men, and men deplore the loss; but war also crushes bad principles and tyrants, and so saves societies.”
Charles Caleb Colton
“A wife is a gift bestowed upon man to reconcile him to the loss of paradise”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“A loss never bothers me after I take it. I forget it overnight. But being wrong - not taking the loss - that is what does damage to the pocketbook and to the soul.”
Jesse Livermore
“While we are mourning the loss of our friend, others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil.”
John Taylor
“Loss and possession, death and life are one, There falls no shadow where there shines no sun.”
Hilaire Belloc
“The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art's audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.”
Paul Gauguin
“Someone else's loss is my chocolatey goodness”
Joss Whedon
“Seek ye first the good things of the mind, and the rest will either be supplied or its loss will not be felt.”
Francis Bacon Sr.
