Hard Difficult

Famous quotes containing the words hard and/or difficult:

“Ultimately, literature is nothing but carpentry. With both you are working with reality, a material just as hard as wood.”
—Gabriel García Márquez (b. 1928)

“He had discovered a great law of human action, without knowing it—namely, that in order to make a man or a boy covet a thing, it is only necessary to make the thing difficult to attain. If he had been a great and wise philosopher, like the writer of this book, he would now have comprehended that Work consists of whatever a body is obliged to do and that Play consists of whatever a body is not obliged to do.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
