Nothing is harder than to accept oneself.

Max Frisch

Sometimes it is harder to deprive oneself of a pain than of a pleasure and the memory so possessed him that for the moment there was nothing to do but to pretend.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

To be rich is to give; to give nothing is to be poor; to live is to love; to love nothing is to be dead; to be happy is to devote oneself; to exist only for oneself is to damn oneself, and to exile oneself to hell.

Eliphas Levi

Just as there is no action weaker or more unreasonable than to submit one's judgment to another's, where there is no advantage to oneself, so also there is nothing greater or wiser than to place oneself unquestioningly under God's judgment by believing in every word He speaks.

Madeleine de Souvre, marquise de Sable

Sometimes it is harder to deprive oneself of a pain than of a pleasure.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

Nothing is more wonderful than the art of being free, but nothing is harder to learn how to use than freedom.

Guy Debord

There is nothing easier than lopping off heads and nothing harder than developing ideas.

Fyodor Dostoevsky

The soul's true greatness is in loving God and in humbling oneself in His presence, completely forgetting oneself and believing oneself to be nothing; because the Lord is great, but He is well-pleased only with the humble; He always opposes the proud.

Mary Faustina Kowalska

Nothing in this world is harder than speaking the truth, nothing easier than flattery.

Fyodor Dostoevsky

As a writer, I find that a good way of evolving a character is through an examination of his or her defining relationships - and what's more defining than a relationship with someone you love?

Marjorie Liu

Nothing hits harder than that: nothing more frustrating than your body giving up on you before your heart does.

Mustafa Ali

There is nothing harder to estimate than a writer's time, nothing harder to keep track of. There are moments—moments of sustained creation—when his time is fairly valuable; and there are hours and hours when a writer's time isn't worth the paper he is not writing anything on.
