  1. Christopher Isherwood _ A Single Man

    As they embrace, she kisses him full on the mouth. And suddenly sticks her tongue right in. She has done this before, often.

  2. Pat Conroy _ My Losing Season: A Memoir

    Loss invites reflection and reformulating and a change of strategies. Loss hurts and bleeds and aches. Loss is always ready to call out your name in the night.

  8. Ken Kesey _ One Flew Over the Cuckoo's

    She don't lose on her losses, but she wins on ours. To beat her you don't have to whip her two out of three or three out of five, but every time you meet. As soon as you let down your guard, as soon as you lose once, she's won for good. And eventually we all got to lose. Nobody can help that.
