Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, American Athlete (1947-  )

Floyd Abrams, American Lawyer
People bitch about losing their anonymity and then get insulted when someone doesn't recognize them from whatever success they've had.

The sad events that occur in my life are the sad events that happen to everybody, with losing friends and family, but that is a natural occurrence, as natural as being born.
Sergio Aragones, Spanish Cartoonist (1937-  )
Two things scare me. The first is getting hurt. But that's not nearly as scary as the second, which is losing.

Kate Beckinsale, English Actress (1973-  )

Elizabeth Bishop, American Poet (1911-1979)

Linda Blair, American Actress (1959-  )
I love competition and really going for it and doing my best, but losing isn't really upsetting to me. I feel like if I do lose, the other person really deserved it.
Corbin Bleu, American Actor (1989-  )
I didn't want to be on the losing side. I was fed up with Jewish weakness, timidity and fear. I didn't want any more Jewish sentimentality and Jewish suffering. I was sickened by our sad songs.
Lionel Blue, British Clergyman (1930-  )
