Famous quotes containing the word loss:
“I have never worked for fame or praise, and shall not feel their loss as I otherwise would. I have never for a moment lost sight of the humble life I was born to, its small environments, and the consequently little right I had to expect much of myself, and shall have the less to censure, or upbraid myself with for the failures I must see myself make.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
“Unfortunately, I am involved in a freedom ride protesting the loss of the minority rights belonging to the few remaining earthbound stars. All we demanded was our right to twinkle.”
—Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962)
“Intimacies between women go backwards, beginning with revelations and ending up in small talk without loss of esteem.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
