Risk Uncertainty

Famous quotes containing the words risk and/or uncertainty:

“The married are those who have taken the terrible risk of intimacy and, having taken it, know life without intimacy to be impossible.”

“It was your severed image that grew sweeter,
That floated, wing-stiff, focused in the sun
Along uncertainty and gales of shame
Blown out before I slept. Now you are one
I dare not think alive: only a name
That chimes occasionally, as a belief
Long since embedded in the static past.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
