"Experience comprises illusions lost, rather than wisdom gained." ― Joseph Roux Topic(s): Experience More From Joseph Roux "The happiness which is lacking makes one think even the happiness one has unbearable." "Poetry is the exquisite expression of exquisite expressions." "We call that person who has lost his father, an orphan; and a widower that man who has lost his wife. But that man who has known the immense unhappiness of losing a friend, by what name do we call him? Here every language is silent and holds its peace in impotence." More In Experience "And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high."― Ayrton Senna "Magicians lose the opportunity to experience a sense of wonder."― David Copperfield "I never intended for the Monster Ball to be a religious experience, it just became one."― Lady Gaga
