Hard Usage

Famous quotes containing the words hard and/or usage:

    It is often hard to determine whether a clear, open, and honorable proceeding is the result of goodness or of cunning.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    I am using it [the word ‘perceive’] here in such a way that to say of an object that it is perceived does not entail saying that it exists in any sense at all. And this is a perfectly correct and familiar usage of the word.
    —A.J. (Alfred Jules)
