Losing Trick Count

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

    Loves riddles are, that though thy heart depart,
    It stayes at home, and thou with losing savest it:
    But wee will have a way more liberall,
    Then changing hearts, to joyne them, so wee shall
    Be one, and one anothers All.
    John Donne (1572–1631)

    I have come back
    but disorder is not what it was.
    I have lost the trick of it!
    The innocence of it!
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    You must not count much upon what I can do or learn in New York.... Everything there disappoints me but the crowd; rather, I was disappointed with the rest before I came. I have no eyes for their churches, and what else they find to brag of. Though I know but little about Boston, yet what attracts me, in a quiet way, seems much meaner and more pretending than there,—libraries, pictures, and faces in the street. You don’t know where any respectability inhabits.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
