“Loss is the great unifier, the terrible club to which we all eventually belong.”

“There may be losses too great to understandThat rove after you and--faint and terrible-- rip unknown through your hand.”

“When absorbing the sadness of the loss, we must concentrate on bad guys to demonize, or black holes of sympathy in which we get to play the cosmic victim of terrible circumstances. Demonizing and victimizing are the sources of those stories in which we can get so woefully stuck”

“To cheat oneself out of love is the most terrible deception; it is an eternal loss for which there is no reparation, either in time or in eternity.”

“I am involved in a freedom ride protesting the loss of the minority rights belonging to the few remaining earthbound stars. All we demanded was our right to twinkle.”

“If you do what we ask you to do, the victories will belong to you, and the losses to me.”
