It is far more difficult to murder a phantom than a reality.

Virginia Woolf

It takes far less courage to kill yourself than it takes to wake up one more time. It is harder to stay where you are than to get out.

Judith Perelman Rossner

Love is best a phantom than reality, better in the chase than caught.

Jessie Burton

The distinction between sanity and insanity is narrower than a razor’s edge, sharper than a hound’s tooth, more agile than a mule deer. It is more elusive than the merest phantom. Perhaps it does not even exist; perhaps it is a phantom.

Philip K. Dick

Cats kill far more birds than men. Why don't you have a slogan: 'Kill a cat and save a bird?'

Prince Philip

My mother isn't crazy. She simply has a harder time than most reconciling her reality with everyone else's reality.

It's a reality of art that the fewer lines you get, the harder it is. Cartooning is actually harder than realism. You have less to work with. It's like trying to build a house-if you have unlimited resources, you're in much better shape than if you get two bricks, a hammer, and a bent nail.

Ursula Vernon

It's harder to heal than it is to kill.

Tamora Pierce

Playing our parts. Yes, we all have to do that and from childhood on, I have found that my own character has been much harder to play worthily and far harder at times to comprehend than any of the roles I have portrayed.

Bette Davis

I actually find it harder to act in the scenes where there's not much happening, say having a milkshake in the diner. That is far harder to do than straight scenes where there's a drama going on and you have something to do.

Chris Hemsworth

It is harder to kill a whisper than even a shouted calumny.

Mary Stewart

People are distracted by objects of desire, and afterward repent of the lust they've indulged, because they have indulged with a phantom and are left even farther from Reality than before.

Rumi

What distinguishes us humans from animals is our conscience. Once our conscience is gone we lose our humanness. Without conscience, humans can be far more dangerous than beasts. Beasts kill for food, humans kill for ideology. Beasts kill just enough to eat. Humans can kill endlessly.
