The past is irretrievably lost. Everything that is real lasts only for a moment.

Time is always chipping away at our dreams. At the moment of death loss becomes complete.

Trust in a friend and you'll lose a friend.

What we have loved and lost-that is our heaven not our hell.

The lost country of youth cannot be regained, because it was never lost.

The man who doesn't howl at the moon when his mother dies is no man at all.

You don't realize what you don't need until you lose it.

There are things I can never do again, people I can never see again, dreams I can never dream again. And yet I wake up every morning with a heart full of gratitude to be alive.

The loss of an illusion frees us from it.
