Difficult Quotes (page 51)

So your desire is to do nothing? Well, you shall not have a week, a day, an hour, free from oppression. You shall not be able to lift anything without agony. Every passing minute will make your muscles crack. What is feather to others will be a rock to you. The simplest things will become difficult. Life will become monstrous about you. To come, to go, to breathe, will be so many terrible tasks for you. Your lungs will feel like a hundred-pound weight. Victor Hugo
It would be unjust toward children to introduce them to Christian teaching and existence only as little pagans and catechumens, in order to leave it up to them to choose the Faith on their own responsibility at a point in time difficult to determine. Hans Urs von Balthasar
The more God asks us to participate in His mysteries, the more disoriented we become, because He asks us constantly to follow our dreams and our hearts. And that's difficult to do when we're used to living in a different way. Finally we discover, to our surprise, that God wants us to be happy, because He is the Father. Paulo Coelho
Being human is itself difficult, and therefore all kinds of settlements (except dream cities) have problems. Big cities have difficulties in abundance, because they have people in abundance. Jane Jacobs
Fyodor Dostoevsky quote: "Grown-up people do not know that a child can give exceedingly..."
Grown-up people do not know that a child can give exceedingly good advice even in the most difficult case. Fyodor Dostoevsky
How difficult it is to reach anything approaching a moderate and relatively calm point of view in the midst of one's emotions. Carl Jung
Be careful, then, and be gentle about death. For it is hard to die, it is difficult to go through the door, even when it opens. David Herbert Lawrence
Nicholas Mosley quote: "It is very difficult to love people who are good to us: it is..."
It is very difficult to love people who are good to us: it is easier to imagine we are loving people we can condescend to. Nicholas Mosley
Because most Christians want it both ways. They want to be able to proudly declare they are believers in the Bible and yet simply ignore those parts they find too difficult or too inconvenient to believe. Dan Brown
...today he felt life, youth, people slipping away from him, without being able to hold on to any of them, left with the blind hope that this obscure force that for so many years had raised him above the daily routine, nourished him unstintingly, and been equal to the most difficult circumstances--that, as it had with endless generosity given him reason to live, it would also give him reason to grow old and die without rebellion. Albert Camus
No, since we began this case, another possibility has presented itself to me--the thought that, although my mother cared for her children, their welfare was simply not her first priority. And the real question is not why that should have been so, but why it should have been such a difficult theory to either formulate or accept--why, indeed, it should have taken a murder case to make me think of it. After all, a man who makes his children of secondary or even minor importance, though he may... Caleb Carr
Love is a teacher, but one must know how to acquire it, for it is difficult to acquire, it is dearly bought, by long work over a long time, for one ought to love not for a chance moment but for all time. Anyone, even a wicked man, can love by chance. Fyodor Dostoevsky
What was in it for me? I wasn't asking for any sort of reciprocation, after all. Why didn't she want her erogenous zones stimulated? I have no idea. All I know is that you could, if you wanted to, find the answers to all sorts of difficult questions buried in that terrible war-torn interregnum between the first pubic hair and the first soiled Trojan. Nick Hornby
Ben Okri quote: "A man must be able to hold his drink because drunkenness is..."
A man must be able to hold his drink because drunkenness is sometimes necessary in this difficult life. Ben Okri
Muriel Spark quote: "It is difficult for people of advanced years to start..."
It is difficult for people of advanced years to start remembering they must die. It is best to form the habit while young. Muriel Spark
