Difficult

Famous quotes containing the word difficult:

    How easily some light report is set about, but how difficult to bear.
    Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)

    There are two things which will always be very difficult for a democratic nation: to start a war and to end it.

    I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term—meaning that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etching—there would be a vast improvement in total output. The sheer ease with which we can produce a superficial image often leads to creative disaster.
    Ansel Adams (1902–1984)
