Losing Trick Count

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

    I have to confess that I had gambled on my soul and lost it with heroic insouciance and lightness of touch. The soul is so impalpable, so often useless, and sometimes such a nuisance, that I felt no more emotion on losing it than if, on a stroll, I had mislaid my visiting card.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    Nor let his Love enchant your generous Mind;
    ‘Tis Natures trick to propagate her Kind.
    Our fond Begetters, who would never die,
    Love but themselves in their Posterity.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)

    If Los Angeles is not the one authentic rectum of civilization, then I am no anatomist. Any time you want to go out again and burn it down, count me in.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
