21 " When faced with difficulties, a humble, understanding, appreciative and selfless person finds it easy to win a friend. On the other hand, a temperamental, egoistic, condensing, self-absorbed, self-conceited and narrow-minded person who lacks the basic sense of humility easily loses friends when in distress. "

22 " No one loses anyone, because no one owns anyone. That is the true experience of freedom: having the most important thing in the world without owning it "

― Paulo Coelho , Eleven Minutes

23 " While we mortals fumble through ambiguity, he never loses his harmony #MyExperiencewith498A "

24 " This principle - that your spouse should be capable of becoming your best friend - is a game changer when you address the question of compatibility in a prospective spouse. If you think of marriage largely in terms of erotic love, then compatibility means sexual chemistry and appeal. If you think of marriage largely as a way to move into the kind of social status in life you desire, then compatibility means being part of the desired social class, and perhaps common tastes and aspirations for lifestyle. The problem with these factors is that they are not durable. Physical attractiveness will wane, no matter how hard you work to delay its departure. And socio-economic status unfortunately can change almost overnight. When people think they have found compatibility based on these things, they often make the painful discovery that they have built their relationship on unstable ground. A woman 'lets herself go' or a man loses his job, and the compatibility foundation falls apart. "

25 " The restless spirit never loses its wings. If sometimes it cannot fly, it is because during those moments the sky vanishes. "

26 " When a husband loses his wife, they call him a widower. When a wife loses her husband, they call her a widow. And when somebody’s parents die, they call them an orphan. But there is no name for a parent, a grieving mother, or a devastated father who have lost their child. Because the pain behind the loss is so immeasurable and unbearable, that it cannot be described in a single word. It just cannot be described. "

― Bhavya Kaushik , The Other Side of the Bed

27 " In a world where the dead have returned to life, the word" trouble' loses much of its meaning. "

28 " I am less to you than your ivory Hermes or your silver Faun. You will like them always. How long will you like me? Till I have my first wrinkle, I suppose. I know, now, that when one loses one's good looks, whatever they may be, one loses everything. Your picture has taught me that. Lord Henry Wotton is perfectly right. Youth is the only thing worth having. When I find that I am growing old, I shall kill myself. "

― Oscar Wilde , The Picture of Dorian Gray

29 " Then I almost pity Judd.” Leaning in, she whispered, “Make him uncomfortable. Don’t take no for an answer. Push. Push him until he loses control. Remember, fire melts ice.”

Brenna looked into those eerie night-sky eyes as Faith drew back. “Could be a dangerous game.”

“You don’t seem to be the kind of woman content with safe and easy.”

“No.” She also wasn’t the kind of woman who gave up at the first obstacle. Judd might be categorically Psy, but she was a SnowDancer. "

30 " The thing about the human race is, It turns up against everything or everyone that it loses its faith and belief on. And the saddest thing to witness is, Most of it have lost its faith towards humanity. "

― Akshay Vasu

31 " People make promises that they have every intention of keeping at the time but when it comes to cashing in, suddenly the promise loses all value. "

― Mercy Cortez , Jethro's Journey (Abduct, #3)

32 " The writer can grow as a person or he can shrink. ... His curiosity, his reaction to life must not diminish. The fatal thing is to shrink, to be interested in less, sympathetic to less, desiccating to the point where life itself loses its flavor, and one’s passion for human understanding changes to weariness and distaste. "

― Norman Mailer

33 " Action is the pulse of any good story, but the character is the heart. If the action has no consequence to the character, the story loses heart. "

― Linda W. Yezak

34 " The writer who loses his self-doubt, who gives way as he grows old to a sudden euphoria, to prolixity, should stop writing immediately: the time has come for him to lay aside his pen. "

― Colette , Earthly Paradise

35 " In everything, almost in everything, I wrote I was guided by the need of collecting ideas which, linked together, would be the expression of myself, though each individual idea, expressed separately in words, loses its meaning, is horribly debased when only one of the links, of which it forms a part, is taken by itself. But the interlinking of these ideas is not, I think, an intellectual process, but something else, and it is impossible to express the source of this interlinking directly in words; it can only be done indirectly by describing images, actions, and situations in words. "

― Leo Tolstoy

36 " Your father, Jo. He never loses patience,--never doubts or complains,--but always hopes, and works and waits so cheerfully, that one is ashamed to do otherwise before him. He helped and comforted me, and showed me that I must try to practise all the virtues I would have my little girls possess, for I was their example. It was easier for your sakes than for my own; a startled or surprised look from one of you, when I spoke sharply, rebuked me more than any words could have done; and the love, respect, and confidence of my children was the sweetest reward I could receive for my efforts to be the woman I would have them copy. "

― Louisa May Alcott , Little Women

37 " A poet, you see, is a light thing, and winged and holy, and cannot compose before he gets inspiration and loses control of his senses and his reason has deserted him. "

― Plato

38 " Dad?" Jesus said." Yes son. What is it?" God replied." Why have you left the stars turned on. It's night time," Jesus asked." It's so that people can find their way home," God said." What do you mean?" Jesus asked his dad." Well" God started to say, " sometimes a person loses their way in life and when that happens all they have to do is look up at the stars and then they will find their way back home to me." " But, what about if it's daytime and there are no stars?" Jesus now asked." Then, I will send them a rainbow to show them the way," God told his son. "

39 " I hope the field of computer science never loses its sense of fun. ... What you know about computing other people will learn. Don’t feel as if the key to successful computing is only in your hands. What’s in your hands I think and hope is intelligence: the ability to see the machine as more than when you were first led up to it, that you can make it more. "

― Harold Abelson , Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs

40 " This is the paradox of historical knowledge. Knowledge that does not change behaviour is useless. But knowledge that changes behaviour quickly loses its relevance. "
