The way to love anything is to realise that it might be lost - Gilbert Chesterton
The art of losing isn't hard to master; so many things seem filled with the intent, to be lost that their loss is no disaster......I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster, some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent. I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster. Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident: the art of losing's not too hard to master, though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster. from One Art, Elizabeth Bishop

And if you think that?s embarrassing hyperbole, then it?s your loss - AA Gill, http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/food_and_drink/a_a_gill…
If you said good-bye to me tonight, There would still be music left to write - from Billy Joel "The Longest Time"
