Losing Trick Count

Famous quotes containing the words losing, trick and/or count:

    Babies are necessary to grown-ups. A new baby is like the beginning of all things—wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities.

    Angela Carter (1940–1992)

    Who knows but we may count among our intellectual chickens
    Like them an Earl of Thackeray and p’raps a Duke of
    Dickens—
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
