Compromise is but the sacrifice of one right or good in the hope of retaining another - too often ending in the loss of both.
My sister's the type who religiously watches the fear segments of her local Eyewitness News broadcasts, retaining nothing but the headline. . . Everything is dangerous all of the time, and if it's not yet been pulled off the shelves, then it's certainly under investigation -- so there.
Life is a difficult game. You can win it only by retaining your birthright to be a person.
Someone would have to keep his wits, and he had assumed automatically that since Fezzik had so few, he would find retaining them not all that difficult.

Hemingway, damn his soul, makes everything he writes terrifically exciting (and incidentally makes all us second-raters seem positively adolescent) by the seemingly simple expedient of the iceberg principle - three-fourths of the substance under the surface.

Most everybody had made at least one bad, drunken decision in their lives. Called an ex at two in the morning. Or perhaps has a little too much to drink on a second date and wept inconsolably while revealing how simply damaged one was, while nonetheless retaining an uncommonly large capacity for love.

Love remains a relation with the Other that turns into need, transcendent exteriority of the other, of the beloved. But love goes beyond the beloved. . . The possibility of the Other appearing as an object of a need while retaining his alterity, or again,the possibility of enjoying the Other. . . this simultaneity of need and desire, or concupiscence and transcendence,. . . constitutes the originality of the erotic which, in this sense, is the equivocal par excellence.
