Quotes:

This melancholy London - I sometimes imagine that the souls of the lost are compelled to walk through its streets perpetually. One feels them passing like a whiff of air.
View quotes by W B Yeats

If a playwright tried to see eye to eye with everybody, he would get the worst case of strabismus since Hannibal lost an eye trying to count his nineteen elephants during a snowstorm while crossing the Alps.
View quotes by James Thurber

We have lost a very important religious figure who dedicated his life to peace and justice for all. [on the death of Pope John Paul II]
View quotes by Mahmoud Abbas

A battle lost or won is easily described, understood, and appreciated, but the moral growth of a great nation requires reflection, as well as observation, to appreciate it.
View quotes by Frederick Douglas

Bad seed is a robbery of the worst kind: for your pocket-book not only suffers by it, but your preparations are lost and a season passes away unimproved.
View quotes by George Washington

Words today are like the shells and rope of seaweed which a child brings home glistening from the beach and which in an hour have lost their lustre.
View quotes by Cyril Connolly

Anyone who has lost track of time when using a computer knows the propensity to dream, the urge to make dreams come true and the tendency to miss lunch.
View quotes by Tim Berners-Lee

A good and faithful servant of God has been called home.

The world has lost a champion of peace and freedom. [on Pope John Paul II]
View quotes by George W Bush

So, if he started smashing teacups and going onto the field of play throttling referees then I'm sure people would say he's lost his marbles. [on Sven Goran Eriksson]
View quotes by Michael Owen

To be a housewife is a difficult, a wrenching, sometimes an ungrateful job if it is looked on only as a job. Regarded as a profession, it is the noblest as it is the most ancient of the catalogue. Let none persuade us differently or the world is lost indeed.
View quotes by Phyllis McGinley

Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people.
View quotes by Carl Sagan

View quotes by Howard Gardner

I had a bet with a pal. We got drunk one night, we were morose because we had lost. He said if we escaped relegation he'd buy me an expensive meal if I wore a kilt, although I kept my knickers on - it was too draughty! I dare not tell you what the bet was if we hadn't stayed up!
View quotes by Paul Sturrock

View quotes by Lleyton Hewitt

The writers of the Indian philosophies will survive, when the British dominion in India shall long have ceased to exist, and when the sources which it yielded of wealth and power are lost to remembrances
