Difficulties Quotes

There are two things people fear… those are death and embarrassment. Those who try to overcome death are just idiots, but I won’t laugh at those who try to overcome their embarrassment. I like those kind of idiots.

It takes dirt to make love, dirt to make a life.

When something bad happens, we have to remember we're not defined by any one thing.

Fortitude, Strength Of Mind

Duality

Why do people even fall in love anyway? It's supremely masochistic, it's a colossal waste of time, and... it's stupid.

Take up the White Man's burden— — No tawdry rule of kings,
But toil of serf and sweeper— — The tale of common things.
The ports ye shall not enter, The roads ye shall not tread,
Go make them with your living, And mark them with your dead.

Take up the White Man's burden— — And reap his old reward:
The blame of those ye better, The hate of those ye guard--
The cry of hosts ye humour (Ah, slowly!) toward the light:—
"Why brought ye us from bondage, "Our loved Egyptian night?"

Take up the White Man's burden— — Ye dare not stoop to less--
Nor call too loud on Freedom To cloak your weariness;
By all ye cry or whisper, By all ye leave or do,
The silent, sullen peoples Shall weigh your Gods and you.

Sometimes the brightest light comes from the darkest places.

I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
About growin' up
and what a struggle it would be.

Too Much Love Will Kill You

Adults

Sometimes we might joke sometimes we might cry,
Just making the most of living our lives.
Sometimes we get low sometimes we get high,
The only antidote, keep living our lives.

It's not easy to dance when no one's leading.

It's amazing what we value when we're at our lowest.

The Mountain Between Us

The human being… sometimes he’ll uphold his pride and conscience even if he’s offered ten billion yen, and other times he’ll murder someone over one yen.

The yen is the Japanese currency.

I find it hard to say the things I want to say the most

— Hey. Miss Lillian.
— Let's go, baby. I met the manager. Is that the boss?
— I did time for what that motherfucker does every day.
— Baby, can you just handle it till we find you something new? Can you do that?
— Ain't a hard time been invented that I cannot handle.

I think we're going to the moon because it's in the nature of the human being to face challenges. It's by the nature of his deep inner soul... we're required to do these things just as salmon swim upstream.
