“The harder you work, the harder it is to surrender.”

“The hardest arithmetic to master is that which enables us to count our blessings.”

“The hardest bits of my book to read were the easiest bits to write because they were the most immediate. Probably because I had never stopped thinking about them on some level. Those bits I was just channelling and those were the most exciting writing days. The bits I found harder were the bits that happen in between, you know, the rest of living. There were whole years, whole houses, that I just got rid of.”

“The hardest bones, containing the richest marrow, can be conquered only by a united crushing of all the teeth of all dogs. That of course is only a figure of speech and exaggerated; if all teeth were but ready they would not need even to bite, the bones would crack themselves and the marrow would be freely accessible to the feeblest of dogs. If I remain faithful to this metaphor, then the goal of my aims, my questions, my inquiries, appears monstrous, it is true. For I want to compel all dogs thus to assemble together, I want the bones to crack open under the pressure of their collective preparedness, and then I want to dismiss them to the ordinary life they love, while all by myself, quite alone, I lap up the marrow. That sounds monstrous, almost as if I wanted to feed on the marrow, not merely of bone, but of the whole canine race itself. But it is only a metaphor. The marrow that I am discussing here is no food; on the contrary, it is a poison.”

“The hardest choice for many people to make is choosing peace and mental health Instead of choosing to be with their families during this festive season or holidays. The reason is that some of the families and family members are very toxic. No matter how much you try to give or help. It will never be enough. Their entitlement to you, your money, and your possessions. The envy and jealousy of your little achievement. No matter how much you try. You will never be good enough. They only worry when you don’t send money or contribute. They only care about what you bring to the table besides they don’t care about you. Some think you owe them your life because if it wasn’t for them. You wouldn’t exist or be where you are.  Some think they are always right and don’t want to be corrected. Some think you are always wrong. When you are at home. You become the sacrifice for their happiness.”

“The hardest chore to do, and to do right, is to think. Why do you think the common man would choose labor, partially, as a distraction from his own thoughts? It is because that level of stress, he most absolutely abhors.”

“The hardest foreign language you will ever learn is your first one. And the second hardest foreign language you will ever learn is your second one. In other words, language learning gets easier with each subsequent iteration. This phenomenon owes to the fact that languages, especially those belonging to the same family, share a great deal in terms of grammar, syntax, phonetics, and vocabulary. . . Not only are many of the concepts repetitive across languages, but learners become more adept at recognizing patterns, formulating sentences, and memorizing information.”
