“If your dad died before you were born, yeah, it hurts — but it’s not like you had a connection with something that was real. Not to say it’s any better — but to have that connection and then have it ripped away was, like, the worst. My dad was such a good dad that when he left, he left a huge scar. He was my superhero.” IfsRealLeftBornHurtWorstHugeLike YouDadConnectionsDiedYeahMy DadScarIt HurtsSuperheroRippedYour DadDad DiedGood Dad Author:Jay-Z
“That is the worst moment, when you feel you have lost / The desires for all that was most desirable, / Before you are contented with what you can desire; / Before you know what is left to be desired; / And you go on wishing that you could desire / What desire has left behind.” KnowsFeelsMomentsDesireLostLeftWishBehindsWorstGoes OnDesirableLeft BehindWorst Moments Author:T.

“This bugs me the worst. That's when the husband thinks that the wife knows where everything is, huh? Like they think the uterus is a tracking device. He comes in: "Hey, Roseanne! Roseanne!

“I have always considered The Merry Wives one of the worst plays, if not altogether the worst, that Shakespeare has left us. The wit for the most part is dreary or foolish; the tone is coarse and farcical; and the characters want the fine distinctive touches he so well knew how to give. If some luckless wight had written such a comedy in our time, I should like to see what the critics would say to it?” IfsWantGivingShouldWellsPlayCharacterLeftComedyWifeWrittenWorstFineCriticsFoolishWitToneOur TimeMerryDistinctiveDrearyCoarse Book:Dramatic Essays Source: Dramatic Essays
“I think, as the writer, you're always going to mourn something [left out of a film]. But you also just want to know there's a good reason for it being left out. On the whole, you want to give something to somebody creative. The worst thing you can do is say, "Here, be creative, but do it like I want you to do it." I was always very mindful of that.” ThinkingKnowsWantGivingReasonWholeFilmLeftCan DoCreativeWorstI Want YouWorst ThingsBe CreativeMournLeft Out Author:Markus Zusak
“War is the admission of defeat in the face of conflicting interests: by war the issue is left to chance, and the tacit assumption that the best man will win is not at all justified. It might equally be argued that the worst, the most unscrupulous man will win, although history will continue the absurd game by finding him after all the best man.” MenWarMightFacesGamesWinningLeftInterestChanceIssuesWorstFindingsDefeatAbsurdAssumptionJustifiedAdmissionAll The BestTacit Book:the female eunuch Source: the female eunuch
“If the javelin had hit me 10cm to the left, it would have punctured my lung, 20cm higher the throat, which would have been the worst-case scenario.

“Missing someone has to be one of the worst human emotions. All the other feelings like anger and fear and horror get some much more airplay, as if their intensity gives them more value, but whereas those emotions come in violent bursts and are gone again, the gnawing ache of loss has to be simply endured. It's like background noise, it's always there, it never goes away. You just have to try to block it out, distract yourself, hope that tomorrow the hole they left behind has grown a little smaller.” IfsGivingTryingHumansLittlesFeelingsValuesLeftLossEmotionBehindsGoneWorstMissingTomorrowHorrorViolentBackgroundsHolesNoiseBlockIntensityAcheLeft BehindMissing SomeoneHuman EmotionsAnger And FearBackground Noise Author:Alexandra Potter
“When you're doing a show on stage, and they show you a red light, that means you have 5 minutes left. At some clubs, they hold a candle up in the back. That's the worst method.
