But in all honesty, I would suggest that people who want a modern "free" OS look around for a microkernel-based, portable OS, like maybe GNU or something like that.

The Jews invented a portable religion in the shape of the Bible, the Torah, and eventually the Talmud, and with other portable forms of writing. So it's now possible to carry the religion, that is embedded in that writing, away from the ruins of political and military power.

Simon Schama

Since the time I resigned, I sometimes wonder whether creating 8chan was a good thing. I sometimes wonder about the things that I said in the past while I was being its admin. Sometimes I think I should have been harder on violent threats. I think maybe I should have worked much harder to improve the moderation systems.

Fredrick Brennan

For me, writing a short story is much, much harder than writing a novel.

Lynn Abbey

The Internet and all its lures are much, much harder than anything I've ever encountered. If you're writing on a computer, the very instrument you're writing on is already tainted by the world out there in all its permutations.

Dani Shapiro

My feeling is that writing Fantasy should be harder - not easier - than writing any other kind of fiction.

Jane Lindskold

It's much harder when you're writing about your life, than when you're writing fiction.

Having been an editor for more than a decade, I thought I had a good idea of how much work was involved in writing a novel. I was wrong! Writing is a lot harder than I ever imagined - but worth it.

Julie Klassen

I have a hard time writing. Most writers have a hard time writing. I have a harder time than most because I'm lazier than most. [...] The other problem I have is fear of writing. The act of writing puts you in confrontation with yourself, which is why I think writers assiduously avoid writing. [...] Not writing is more of a psychological problem than a writing problem. All the time I'm not writing I feel like a criminal. [...] It's horrible to feel felonious every second of the day. Especially when it goes on for years. It's much more relaxing actually to work.

Fran Lebowitz

Writing a book is the most terrifying thing that I've ever done. It's so much harder than writing for television because it is a completely different skill set.

Mindy Kaling

Writing is much, much harder than taking pictures because you have to man-haul it all out of your insides.

Sally Mann

The people at the top don't work just harder or even much harder than everyone else. They work much, much harder.

Malcolm Gladwell

Writing a book is so much harder than I imagined.

Eva Gutowski

So much in football is touching, feeling, walking through, writing it on boards, drawing Xs and Os. And all those are the best for me.

Tim Tebow

It's much harder to act poorly written material. It's much harder to memorize poorly written material.

Carrie Coon

I'm no perfect gymnast. I want to go out and eat junk food, or I maybe don't sleep as much as I should, or some days I'll leave the gym and think, "Maybe I should have worked a little harder. Maybe I'm not as tired as I need to be." Every day you push a little harder, eat a little better, maybe go to bed a little earlier.
