Marilynne Robinson Quotes About Loss

Quotes about: Loss

• Memory is the sense of loss, and loss pulls us after it.

  Marilynne Robinson

  Memories, Loss

• This is not to say that joy is a compensation for loss, but that each of them, joy and loss, exists in its own right and must be recognised for what it is ... So joy can be joy and sorrow can be sorrow, with neither of them casting either light or shadow on the other.

  Marilynne Robinson

  Loss, Light, Joy

• The loss of seriousness seems to me to be, in effect, a loss of hope. I think that the thing that made people rise to real ambition, real gravity was the sense of posterity, for example - a word that I can remember hearing quite often when I was a child and I never hear anymore. People actually wanted to make the world good for people in generations that they would never see. It makes people think in very large terms to try to liberate women, for example, or to try to eliminate slavery.
