Lost Quotes

All chess masters have on occasion played a magnificent game and then lost it by a stupid mistake, perhaps in time pressure and it may perhaps seem unjust that all their beautiful ideas get no other recognition than a zero on the tournament table Picture Quote #1

In modern praxis lost positions are salvaged most often when the play is highly complicated with many sharp dynamic variations to be calculated Picture Quote #1

The destiny of the world is determined less by the battles that are lost and won than by the stories it loves and believes in Picture Quote #1

I see the origin of the irresistible attraction of metaphor and analogy, the explanation of our strange and permanent need to find similarities in things. I can scarcely refrain from suspecting some ancient, diffused magnetism; a call from the center of things; a dim, almost lost memory, or perhaps a presentiment, pointless in so puny a being, of a universal syntax Picture Quote #1

It’s a long, hard road and it’s going to have its bumps; there are going to be times when you fall and times when you don’t feel like going on anymore, times when you’re just crazy tired but it takes focusing on that one step you’re taking. That’s what I’m trying to do with the marathon; I don’t think about the miles that are coming down the road, I don’t think about the mile I’m on right now, I don’t think about the miles I’ve already covered. I think about what I’m doing right now, just being lost in the moment Picture Quote #1

Let life unfold, say what you mean. You can’t always think about what you’ve lost, or what you don’t have, or what you didn’t get. Because when you do that, you’re missing out on the now. You can’t know if you’ll be here tomorrow or a year from now Picture Quote #1

No matter who we are or where we live, deep inside we all feel incomplete. It’s like we have lost something and need to get it back. Just what that something is, most of us never find out. And of those who do, even fewer manage to go out and look for it Picture Quote #1

Modesty teaches us to speak of the ancients with respect, especially when we are not very familiar with their works. Newton, who knew them practically by heart, had the greatest respect for them, and considered them to be men of genius and superior intelligence who had carried their discoveries in every field much further than we today suspect, judging from what remains of their writings. More ancient writings have been lost than have been preserved, and perhaps our new discoveries are of less value than those that we have lost Picture Quote #1

When you resort to shouting in conflict, you are reacting in the flesh. You have lost control of the only person you can control: yourself Picture Quote #1

The little babies are missing their families from their past lives. The babies have old souls and the old souls have to shrink to become little babies. The tears loosen their memories so they can slide away. They cry at the life they have lost, and then they cry at everything they’ll forget Picture Quote #1

As confusing, unpredictable and stressful as life may be, always remember, it is never incorrect to be kind. When lost, just do nice things Picture Quote #1

Everything goes, everything is lost, eventually. But if something is good, it doesn’t matter what happens. The ending is still happy Picture Quote #1

Honestly, I had no idea that the heart could cause such trouble and strife. It could be broken and still mend. It could be wounded and still heal. It could be given away still returned, lost and found. It could do all that and still you lived, though according to some, only just Picture Quote #1

Haven’t lost your sense of humor after all but your sense of identity is what seems to have been misplaced. No. Wrong. You don’t lose what you never had Picture Quote #1

Precious things lost are transmutable. They refuse oblivion. They simply wait to be rendered into testimonies, into stories and songs Picture Quote #1

The people around you are you. They share your history. They can even write it with you. And when you lose one, there’s no doubt you lose some of yourself, however they’re lost Picture Quote #1

I’m not fascinated by people who smile all the time. What I find interesting is the way people look when they are lost in thought, when their face becomes angry or serious, when they bite their lip, the way they glance, the way they look down when they walk, when they are alone and smoking a cigarette, when they smirk, the way they half smile, the way they try and hold back tears, the way when their face says they want to say something but can’t, the way they look at someone they want or love… I love the way people look when they do these things. It’s… beautiful Picture Quote #1

It’s north and south pole. When you win you feel great, but when you lose it, it’s like you’ve lost 10 games in a row Picture Quote #1

To not dare is to have already lost. We should seek out ambitious, even unrealistic projects, because things only happen when we dream Picture Quote #1

The goddess has never been lost. It is just that some of us have forgotten how to find her Picture Quote #1

You may have lost your way more than a little bit, but I believe you can find your way back. That’s the trick. Finding your way back Picture Quote #1

It is through hearing stories about wicked stepmothers, lost children, good but misguided kings, wolves that suckle twin boys, youngest sons who receive no inheritance but must make their own way in the world, and eldest sons who waste their inheritance on riotous living and go into exile to live with the swine, that children learn or mislearn both what a child and what a parent is, what the cast of characters may be in the drama into which they have been born and what the ways of the world are Picture Quote #1

Idiots have always been exploited, and this is only right. The day they cease to be, they will triumph, and the world will be lost Picture Quote #1

The obvious is the hardest thing of all to point out to anyone who has genuinely lost sight of it Picture Quote #1

When all is lost, when all is let go of, when all is abandoned, what you are left with is an ocean of bliss Picture Quote #1

To deprive a gregarious creature of companionship is to maim it, to outrage its nature. The prisoner and the cenobite are aware that the herd exists beyond their exile; they are an aspect of it. But when the herd no longer exists, there is, for the herd creature, no longer entity, a part of no whole; a freak without a place. If he cannot hold on to his reason, then he is lost indeed; most utterly, most fearfully lost, so that he becomes no more than the twitch in the limb of a corpse Picture Quote #1

Love lost is a special kind of failure, I think. It’s a reminder that some consummations, no matter how devoutly wished for, never come; that some apes will never be men, not in all the world’s ages Picture Quote #1

One more thing. The people and the friends that we have lost... or the dreams that have faded... never forget them Picture Quote #1

When we give up dieting, we take back something we were often too young to know we had given away: our own voice. Our ability to make decisions about what to eat and when. Our belief in ourselves. Our right to decide what goes into our mouths. Unlike the diets that appear monthly in magazines or the thermal pants that sweat off pounds, unlike a lover or a friend or a car, your body is reliable. It doesn’t go away, get lost, stolen. If you will listen, it will speak Picture Quote #1

Our moments of inspiration are not lost though we have no particular poem to show for them; for those experiences have left an indelible impression, and we are ever and anon reminded of them Picture Quote #1
