"He who possesses most must be most afraid of loss."

"With every loss, you gain a new perspective."

"If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger."

"Tears shed for another person are not a sign of weakness. They are a sign of a pure heart."

"You never knew the last time you were seeing someone. You didn't know when the last argument happened, or the last time you had sex, or the last time you looked into their eyes and thanked God they were in your life.After they were gone?That was all you thought about.Day and night."

"We bereaved are not alone. We belong to the largest company in all the world--the company of those who have known suffering."

"Most people fail, not because of lack of desire, but, because of lack of commitment."

"Loss is not as bad as wanting more."

"It was happy while it lasted, but now it pains as you are holding the knife and twisting it- clockwise."

"I cannot conceive of a greater loss than the loss of one's self-respect."
