Nicholas Mosley quote: "What if the need to have a hard time is built into human nature?"
What if the need to have a hard time is built into human nature? Nicholas Mosley
I think many of the boundaries that convention has placed upon us are arbitrary, so we can fiddle with them if we fancy. Gravity's hard to dispute, and breathing, but a lot of things we instinctively obey are a lot of old tosh. Russell Brand
I was settled into nothingness; a kind of non-being, and I accepted it. It didn't make for an interesting person. I didn't want to be interesting, it was too hard. What I really wanted was only a soft, hazy space to live in, and to be left alone. Charles Bukowski
Say to them, say to the down-keepers, the sun-slappers, the self-soilers, the harmony-hushers,"Even if you are not ready for dayit cannot always be night."You will be right. For that is the hard home-run. Live not for battles won. Live not for the-end-of-the-song. Live in the along. Gwendolyn Brooks
He pulled himself out of hard times, dealt with the scars from it, pushed himself to make a mark. A little bit of the wild side there, always. I told myself, oh no, I won't get tangled up with this one. And I said it again, even when I was tangled up. Nora Roberts
We do not admire, we hardly excuse, the fanatic who wrecks this world for love of the other. But what are we to say of the fanatic who wrecks this world out of hatred of the other? He sacrifices the very existence of humanity to the non-existence of God. He offers his victims not to the altar, but merely to assert the idleness of the altar and the emptiness of the throne. He is ready to ruin even that primary ethic by which all things live, for his strange and eternal vengeance upon some one... Gilbert K. Chesterton
Jodi Picoult quote: "Security was a mirage; beingtied down hardly counted when the..."
Security was a mirage; beingtied down hardly counted when the other end of the rope had unraveled. Jodi Picoult
Could you understand the meaning of light if there were no darkness to point the contrast? Day and night, life and death, love and hatred; since none of these things can have any being at all apart from the existence of the other; only the indolence of human nature finds it so hard to pierce through to the other side. Elizabeth Goudge
Sylvester Stallone quote: "Life's not about how hard of a hit you can give... it's about..."
Life's not about how hard of a hit you can give... it's about how many you can take, and still keep moving forward. Sylvester Stallone
Never," said Gregor. "I'll never get rid of you, no matter how hard I try." It was no longer an effort to say the words. "I love you."I love you, too," said Luxa. After that there was nothing left to say. Suzanne Collins
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe quote: "Too many parents make life hard for their children by trying,..."
Too many parents make life hard for their children by trying, too zealously, to make it easy for them. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
When they were introduced, he made a witticism, hoping to be liked. She laughed extremely hard, hoping to be liked. Then each drove home alone, staring straight ahead, with the very same twist to their faces. The man who'd introduced them didn't much like either of them, though he acted as if he did, anxious as he was to preserve good relations at all times. One never knew, after all, now did one now did one now did one. David Foster Wallace
Calvin Trillin quote: "Every good idea sooner or later degenerates into hard work."
Every good idea sooner or later degenerates into hard work. Calvin Trillin
When a poor man gives something, that is a sacrifice indeed. When a rich man gives something, it hardly rises to the same level. David Baldacci
This is the pre-verbal language that linguists call Mentalese. Hardly a language, more a matrix of shifting patterns, consolidating and compressing meaning in fractions of a second, and blending it inseparably with its distinctive emotional hue. ... So that when a flash of red streaks in across his left peripheral vision ... it already has the quality of an idea ... unexpected and dangerous, but entirely his, and not of the world beyond himself. Ian Mcewan
