Hard

Famous quotes containing the word hard:

    But it’s hard to farm
    Between the stumps:
    The cows get thin, the milk tastes funny,
    The kids grow up and go to college
    They don’t come back
    the little fir-trees do
    Gary Snyder (b. 1930)

    Go, grieving rimes of mine, to that hard stone
    Whereunder lies my darling, lies my dear,
    And cry to her to speak from heaven’s sphere.
    Petrarch (1304–1374)

    ...here he is, fully alive, and it is hard to picture him fully dead. Death is thirty-three hours away and here we are talking about the brain size of birds and bloodhounds and hunting in the woods. You can only attend to death for so long before the life force sucks you right in again.
    Helen Prejean (b. 1940)
