The more serious the situation, the funnier the comedy can be. The greatest comedy plays against the greatest tragedy. Comedy is a red rubber ball and if you throw it against a soft, funny wall, it will not come back. But if you throw it against the hard wall of ultimate reality, it will bounce back and be very lively. Very, very few people understand this.

Mel Brooks

But sometimes, in tight corners, when your back is against the wall and the world is against you, you have to fight back in unexpected ways.

Caroline B. Cooney

For a moment there I convinced myself I had my back against a wall, and suddenly the only wall I find my back against is that of a 10 by 10 writing shack in Glendale, where the summer days average between 90 and 100 and each song can be quantified in the sweat it took to write it. There is no ac in hell, and sometimes you've got to get down to get up. The train is gaining speed I should think.

Andrew McMahon

Ed Skrein

If you bounce a tennis ball against a wall it will come back to you the same way every time. But if you shift the wall a few degrees it will come back another way.

Tom Shadyac

I sometimes end up in dangerous situations, and I come back to you broken and messed up, and you worry about me when I'm gone. It's like marrying a policeman.

Adlai Stevenson I

I like having my back pressed against a wall and being made to work harder so I don't embarrass myself.

Mark Haddon

Rule of storytelling: When a character is shoved against a wall, shove them against a wall harder.

Aaron Sorkin

When your back is against the wall, and you feel like you're losing faith and hope because so many things are coming at you at once, hold on.

Mya

Me and success are two things you don't wanna find yo ass between. Back against the wall like plasma screens.

Drake

When you are up against a wall, put down roots like a tree, until clarity comes from deeper sources to see over that wall and grow.

Carl Jung

I never have [suffered writer’s block], although I’ve had books that didn’t work out. I had to stop writing them. I just abandoned them. It was depressing, but it wasn’t the end of the world. When it really isn’t working, and you’ve been bashing yourself against the wall, it’s kind of a relief. I mean, sometimes you bash yourself against the wall and you get through it. But sometimes the wall is just a wall. There’s nothing to be done but go somewhere else.

Margaret Atwood

I felt a bottomless sadness. So completely alone. Like one of my stuffed animals at home that I was too old for now, that sat on the shelf in my closet, mashed against the back wall.

Augusten Burroughs
