“For everything you have missed, you have gained something else, and for everything you gain, you lose something else.”
“I guess it's about what you have to give up to gain something else...Did you always have to give something up for a gain?”
“To gain that which is worth having,it may be necessary to lose everything else.”
“To be compromised you need to have a stake in things, you need to have something to lose and something to gain. You have to be risking yourself, not all the time, but enough of the time to be weighing things up, principle over self-preservation, the gains, the losses.”
“Why is it that for everything you gain in life, something is always lost?”
“What makes something special is not just what you have to gain, but what you feel there is to lose.”
