Hard Quotes (page 127)

So green this summer and so fresh. There are white and gold daisies among the grass in front of an old wire fence, a meadow with some cows and far in the distance a low rising of the land with something golden on it. Hard to know what it is. No need to know. Robert M. Pirsig
Gay brothers and sisters,... You must come out. Come out... to your parents... I know that it is hard and will hurt them but think about how they will hurt you in the voting booth! Come out to your relatives... come out to your friends... if indeed they are your friends. Come out to your neighbors... to your fellow workers... to the people who work where you eat and shop... come out only to the people you know, and who know you. Not to anyone else. But once and for all, break down the myths,... Harvey Milk
Such hours are beautiful to live, but hard to describe, so I will leave it to the imagination of my readers, merely saying that the house was full of genuine happiness. Louisa May Alcott
Terry Prachett quote: "When you break rules, break 'em good and hard"
When you break rules, break 'em good and hard Terry Prachett
It's hard to hate my prep team. They're such total idiots. And yet, in an odd way, I know they're sincerely trying to help me. Suzanne Collins
Charlaine Harris quote: "It's hard not to respond when a master of the art of kissing..."
It's hard not to respond when a master of the art of kissing is laying one on you. Charlaine Harris
As I looked at her there among the pumpkins I was overcome with the color and the intesity of my life. In these moments we are driven to try and hoard happiness by taking photographs, but I know better. The improtant thing was what the colors stood for, the taste of hard apples and the existence of Lena and the exact quality of the sun on the last warm day in October. A photograph would have flattened the scene into a happy moment, whereas what I felt was rapture. The fleeting certainty that... Barbara Kingsolver
May Sarton quote: "It always comes back to the same necessity: go deep enough and..."
It always comes back to the same necessity: go deep enough and there is a bedrock of truth, however hard. May Sarton
Emily Bronte quote: "You're hard to please: so many friends and so few cares, and..."
You're hard to please: so many friends and so few cares, and can't make yourself content! Emily Bronte
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe quote: "Love grants in a moment what toil can hardly acheive in an age."
Love grants in a moment what toil can hardly acheive in an age. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If you quietly accept and go along no matter what your feelings are, ultimately you internalize what you're saying, because it's too hard to believe one thing and say another. I can see it very strikingly in my own background. Go to any elite university and you are usually speaking to very disciplined people, people who have been selected for obedience. And that makes sense. If you've resisted the temptation to tell the teacher, "You're an asshole," which maybe he or she is, and if you don't... Noam Chomsky
He never labored so hard to learn a language as he did to hold his tongue, and it affected him for life. The habit of reticence? of talking without meaning? is never effaced. Henry B. Adams
I wrote fairy tales because the Fairy Tale seemed the ideal Form for the stuff I had to say. Then of course the Man in me began to have his turn. I thought I saw how stories of this kind could steal past a certain inhibition which had paralyzed much of my own religion in childhood. Why did one find it so hard to feel as one was told one ought to feel about God or about the sufferings of Christ? I thought the chief reason was that one was told one ought to. As obligation to feel can freeze... C. S. Lewis
The King and Queen hid in a secret cupboard in their bedroom for two hours, listening to the searchers grow cold, then warm, then cold again, then warm, and at last hot, and burning hot. The weakly King was hard to kill: when they threw him from the balcony they thought him doubly dead from bullet wounds and sword slashes, but the fingers of his right hand clasped the railing and had to be cut off before he fell to the ground, where the fingers of his left hand clutched the grass. Rebecca West
Here are some questions I am constantly noodling over: Do you splurge or do you hoard? Do you live every day as if it's your last, or do you save your money on the chance you'll live twenty more years? Is life too short, or is it going to be too long? Do you work as hard as you can, or do you slow down to smell the roses? And where do carbohydrates fit into all this? Are we really all going to spend our last years avoiding bread, especially now that bread in American is so unbelievable... Nora Ephron
