What I love about cooking is that after a hard day, there is something comforting about the fact that if you melt butter and add flour and then hot stock, it will get thick! It's a sure thing! It's sure thing in a world where nothing is sure; it has a mathematical certainty in a world where those of us who long for some kind of certainty are forced to settle for crossword puzzles. ~ Nora Ephron
Hard Days quotes by Nora Ephron
The cyclicality of hard alternating with easy plays out not only in the day and the week but also across training cycles and even across years. Think of Olympians who take an easy year or two in their quadrennial cycles. Check that there is variety across your training at every level, from the cooldown after a hard workout to the easier year after a particularly tough season. Active recovery, both in easy workouts and in easy days, introduces variability to training. Remember Carl Foster's finding, outlined in Chapter 4, that athletes can adapt better to a greater overall training stress when it is variable instead of monotonous. Make the easy days really easy so that the hard days can be truly hard. If you can rein in your effort on your easy days, you'll have room to push a little faster or a little longer on your hard days, yielding a much bigger fitness reward than simply muddling through with easy days that are too hard and hard days that therefore become too slow or short. ~ Rountree Sage
Hard Days quotes by Rountree Sage
Sometimes a hard day's work is easier than a lot of things you can meet in life. ~ Chris LeDoux
Hard Days quotes by Chris LeDoux
What you're doing is building a horrible kind of logic. People read what you write and they say, 'Yes, he is talking about things that really happen,' and they keep reading, and it makes sense to them. You're explaining things that can't be defended, and the explanations themselves are mad, just bizarre - but you offer them with such confidence. It was because she kept the chain on the door; it was because he needed to let off steam after a hard day's scraping and bowing at work; it was because she was irritating and stupid; it was because she lied to him, made a fool of him; it was because she had to die, she just had to, it makes dramatic sense; it was because 'nothing is more poetic than the death of a beautiful woman'; it was because of this, it was because of that. It's obscene to make such things reasonable. ~ Helen Oyeyemi
Hard Days quotes by Helen Oyeyemi
There are good days and hard days for me - even now. Don't let the hard days win. ~ Sarah J. Maas
Hard Days quotes by Sarah J. Maas
In a perfect Friendship this Appreciative love is, I think, often so great and so firmly based that each member of the circle feels, in his secret heart, humbled before the rest. Sometimes he wonders what he is doing there among his betters. He is lucky beyond desert to be in such company. Especially when the whole group is together; each bringing out all that is best, wisest, or funniest in all the others. Those are the golden sessions; when four or five of us after a hard day's walk have come to our inn; when our slippers are on, our feet spread out toward the blaze and our drinks are at our elbows; when the whole world, and something beyond the world, opens itself to our minds as we talk; and no one has any claim on or any responsibility for another, but all are freemen and equals as if we had first met an hour ago, while at the same time an Affection mellowed by the years enfolds us. Life - natural life - has no better gift to give. Who could have deserved it? ~ C.S. Lewis
Hard Days quotes by C.S. Lewis
She left for the Mercury, but I stayed on the roof for a while. I breathed in the city: its warming wind, its noise. And I was one young man on a roof who had just spent the night with a beautiful woman...and the sunlight suggested winter and hard days to come, but we would all survive somehow, and the seasons were bigger than any of us anyway--and we were all tumbling along on the breeze of something enormous and eternal and gloriously busy. ~ Robert Kaplow
Hard Days quotes by Robert Kaplow
Unless you lock me in here, you can't expect me to barricade myself in your room when your gone all the time."
Cameron smiled ruefully.
"Why not? You could sit here counting the minutes til I came home after a hard day's work and made your wait worthwhile ~ Julie Hockley
Hard Days quotes by Julie Hockley
I used to think of the Christian life as a sort of achievement test in which we were supposed to hurry to figure out all the right answers, but I'm starting to wonder if these slow, hard days of growth help transform us into our eternal form, and therefore are crucial. God lets us live out our belief (and our unbelief) in such a way that the truth of ourselves rises to the surface. Sincere doubt and deflective doubt are divided. What we love most is exposed by our long days of chasing. We are shown ourselves so that we can resign more and more to the indwelling God. Those who love the light pursue the light, and those who love the darkness of self-deification are allowed to feel the gravity of this choice while time remains to make new choices. ~ Rebecca K. Reynolds
Hard Days quotes by Rebecca K.  Reynolds
One hard day of work proves you have heart. But day after day is what proves you have maturity and commitment. ~ Dwayne Johnson
Hard Days quotes by Dwayne Johnson
Writers of the world, if you've got a story, I want to hear it. I promise it will follow me to my last breath. My soul will dance with pleasure, and it'll change the quality of all my waking hours. You will hearten me and brace me up for the hard days as they enter my life on the prowl. I reach for a story to save my own life. Always. It clears the way for me and makes me resistant to all the false promises signified by the ring of power. In every great story, I encounter a head-on collision with self and imagination. ~ Pat Conroy
Hard Days quotes by Pat Conroy
There were hard days but I never felt sorry for myself. ~ Chris Bosh
Hard Days quotes by Chris Bosh
Okay, I'm dreaming. Hallucinating. Brought on by stress. I had a hard day today and this is my mind trying to protect itself from ... from stuff. Lots of stuff. (Geary)
(Arik, Trieg, and ZT stare at Geary.)
Oh, like I'm any less sane than the three of you just because I talk to myself. (Geary) ~ Sherrilyn Kenyon
Hard Days quotes by Sherrilyn Kenyon
You can't control what goes on around you, you can't. But for me, I think there's staples of these moments, that crazy moment where you think you're indestructible. That moment where you find out that you're not. And then that moment where all of a sudden you go, okay, I'm not indestructible but I'm gonna be okay. You have this life, and we all have these lives we live but it takes a bit of learning before you realize not every drama's going to kill you and not every hard day has to lead to another one. ~ Andrew McMahon
Hard Days quotes by Andrew McMahon
Are you a Genesis 1 Christian or a Genesis 3 Christian? Do you start your story with shalom or with sin? Shalom is the Hebrew word for "peace." For rhythm. For everything lining up exactly how it was meant to line up. Shalom is happening in those moments when you are at the dinner table for hours with good friends, good food, and good wine. Shalom is when you hear or see something and can't quite explain it, but you know it's calling and stirring something deep inside of you. Shalom is a sunset, that sense of exhaustion yet satisfaction from a hard day's work, creating art that is bigger than itself. Shalom is enemies being reconciled by love. ~ Jefferson Bethke
Hard Days quotes by Jefferson Bethke
After a hard day of basic training, you could eat a rattlesnake. ~ Elvis Presley
Hard Days quotes by Elvis Presley
You read a lot?" Galina finally asked.
"Yes. It's an escape into another world." She tried to keep her words light instead of sad, thoughts of her family in her head. "Sometimes that is the best part of a hard day. ~ Anne Mallory
Hard Days quotes by Anne Mallory
I'm sort of the comic relief after a hard day at work. My message is that it's OK to relax. ~ Larry King
Hard Days quotes by Larry King
The economic pie of 2014 is far larger than the pie of 1500, but it is distributed so unevenly that many African peasants and Indonesian labourers return home after a hard day's work with less food than did their ancestors 500 years ago. ~ Yuval Noah Harari
Hard Days quotes by Yuval Noah Harari
The Major's laughter boomed out again.

"And I never kept a diary in my life!" he cried. "Why there's enough cream in this situation to make a dishful of meringues. You and I, you know, the students of Tilling! The serious-minded students who do a hard day's work when all the pretty ladies have gone to bed. Often and often has old--I mean has that fine woman, Miss Mapp, told me that I work too hard at night! Recommended me to get earlier to bed, and do my work between six and eight in the morning! Six and eight in the morning! That's a queer time of day to recommend an old campaigner to be awake at! Often she's talked to you, too, I bet my hat, about sitting up late and exhausting the nervous faculties."

Major Flint choked and laughed and inhaled tobacco smoke till he got purple in the face.

"And you sitting up one side of the street," he gasped, "pretending to be interested in Roman roads, and me on the other pulling a long face over my diaries, and neither of us with a Roman road or a diary to our names. Let's have an end to such unsociable arrangements, old friend; you lining your Roman roads and the bottle to lay the dust over to me one night, and I'll bring my diaries and my peg over to you the next. Never drink alone--one of my maxims in life--if you can find someone to drink with you. And there were you within a few yards of me all the time sitting by your old solitary self, and there was I sitting by my old solitary self, and we each th ~ E.F. Benson
Hard Days quotes by E.F. Benson
Are they given in exchange for the glory of an African sunrise, for the twilight breeze whispering through the palms, for the green shade of the matted, tangled vines, for the cool, big-starred nights of the desert, for the patter of the waterfall after a hard day's hunt? What, I ask you, are they given in exchange for THESE? Why, a bare cage with iron bars; an ugly piece of dead meat thrust in to them once a day; and a crowd of fools to come and stare at them with open mouths! - No, Stubbins. Lions and tigers, the Big Hunters, should never, never be seen in zoos. ~ Hugh Lofting
Hard Days quotes by Hugh Lofting
Religion has become to many merely a means of doing a little charity work, just to amuse them after a hard day's labour - they get five minutes religion to amuse them. This is the danger with the liberal thought. ~ Swami Vivekananda
Hard Days quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Hard days are the best because that's when champions are made. ~ Gabby Douglas
Hard Days quotes by Gabby Douglas
Maybe all people needed sometimes was for someone to keep showing up for them during the hard days, even when they tried their best to push everyone away. ~ Brittainy C. Cherry
Hard Days quotes by Brittainy C. Cherry
You need a long hard day's work to reveal the logic of the craving for very bad tv and alcohol. ~ Alain De Botton
Hard Days quotes by Alain De Botton
Be good, kind, and friendly to the receptionist. She's had a hard day. ~ Rebecca Pidgeon
Hard Days quotes by Rebecca Pidgeon
Hard Day's Night was one of those great films that will never happen again to anyone in their lifetime. UA were in profit before we'd even finished shooting - The advance sales on the album - the film was out before the album was out was more than it cost UA to make the film. ~ Richard Lester
Hard Days quotes by Richard Lester
So what happened?"
"I don't know." Another glance to ensure his continued state of Not Looking, and then I rip off my clothes in one fast swoop. I am now officially stark naked in the room with the most beautiful boy I know. Funny,but this isn't how I imagined this moment.
No.Not funny.One hundred percent the exact opposite of funny.
"I think I maybe,possibly, vaguely remember hitting the snooze button." I jabber to cover my mortification. "Only I guess it was the off button.But I had the alarm on my phone set,too, so I don't know what happened."
Underwear,on.
"Did you turn the ringer back on last night?"
"What?" I hop into my jeans, a noise he seems to determinedly ignore.His ears are apple red.
"You went to see a film,right? Don't you set your mobile to silent at the theater?"
He's right.I'm so stupid. If I hadn't taken Meredith to A Hard Day's Night, a Beatles movie I know she loves, I would have never turned it off. We'd already be in a taxi to the airport. "The taxi!" I tug my sweater over my head and look up to find myself standing across from a mirror.
A mirror St. Clair is facing.
"It's all right," he says. "I told the driver to wait when I came up here. We'll just have to tip him a little extra." His head is still down. I don't think he saw anything.I clear my throat, and he glances up. Our eyes meet in the mirror,and he jumps. "God! I didn't...I mean,not until just now..."
"Cool.Yeah,fine." I try to shake it off ~ Stephanie Perkins
Hard Days quotes by Stephanie Perkins
There were so many other amazing things in this world. They opened up inside of me like a river. Like I didn't know I could take a breath and then I breathed. I laughed with the joy of it, and the next moment I was crying my first tears on the PCT. I cried and I cried and I cried. I wasn't crying because I was happy. I wasn't crying because I was sad. I wasn't crying because of my mother or my father or Paul. I was crying because I was full. Of those fifty-some hard days on the trail and of the 9,760 days that had come before them too. ~ Cheryl Strayed
Hard Days quotes by Cheryl Strayed
HARD DAY'S KNIGHT'
For a skinny little gamer-geek he'd done a good job tying me up. I guess that's another thing we can thank the Internet for -- unlimited access to fetish porn has imporved the knot-tying ability of men who can't get dates. ~ John G. Hartness
Hard Days quotes by John G. Hartness
Throughout my life, there were a few hard days. Days where even when I tried to be happy, my heart still cracked, and Mother's Day was one of those. For others, it stood as a celebration. For me, it spoke of loss and failure. ~ Brittainy C. Cherry
Hard Days quotes by Brittainy C. Cherry
The boy was the sun in Coriane's sky. On hard days, he split the darkness. On good days, he lit the world. When Tibe went away to the front, for weeks at a time now that the war ran hot again, Cal kept her safe. Only a few months old and better than any shield in the kingdom. ~ Victoria Aveyard
Hard Days quotes by Victoria Aveyard
Quick work doesn't mean less serious work, it depends on one's self-confidence and experience. In the same way Jules Guérard, the lion hunter, says in his book that in the beginning young lions have a lot of trouble killing a horse or an ox, but that the old lions kill with a single blow of the paw or a well-placed bite, and that they are amazingly sure at the job... I must warn you that everyone will think that I work too fast. Don't you believe a word of it. Is it not emotion, the sincerity of one's feeling for nature, that draws us, and if the emotions are sometimes so strong that one works without knowing one works, when sometimes the strokes come with a continuity and coherence like words in a speech or a letter, then one must remember that it has not always been so, and that in time to come there will again be hard days, empty of inspiration. So one must strike while the iron is hot, and put the forged bars on one side. ~ Vincent Van Gogh
Hard Days quotes by Vincent Van Gogh
Never underestimate the power of kindness. It is very contagious. A person whose heart is saddened by the troubles of this world, the loss of a friend or family member, a hard days work, or the struggle of provision can experience joy through a simple act of kindness. Romans 12: 10-12, Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another, not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord, rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continually steadfastly in prayer. ~ Amaka Imani Nkosazana
Hard Days quotes by Amaka Imani Nkosazana
When taxpayers are subsidizing low wages, people should be aware of that. We're subsidizing an economy. We're not subsidizing people. They are doing a hard day's work. When we're not rewarding work actively, there's something wrong with the system. ~ Nancy Pelosi
Hard Days quotes by Nancy Pelosi
side. When she tries to explain her passion for it he reminds her how Anthony Trollope wrote all his books after a hard day's work at the Post Office. ~ Marcia Willett
Hard Days quotes by Marcia Willett
Your voice I know. It had me terrified. When I hear it in dreams, from time to time all my life, it sounds like a taunt - but dreams distort sound, for they send it over many waters. During these hard days, I, a pilgrim, am giving my consideration to this. I trudge along the bottom of the river and the questioning goes on in me. What are we made of but hunger and rage? His heels rise and fall in front of me. How surprised I am to be entangled in the knowledge of some other animal. ~ Anne Carson
Hard Days quotes by Anne Carson
When I was younger a woman always told me that family looks out for each other no matter what, even on the hard days. Especially on the hard days. ~ Brittainy C. Cherry
Hard Days quotes by Brittainy C. Cherry
The first album I bought with my own money was 'A Hard Day's Night.' ~ Zooey Deschanel
Hard Days quotes by Zooey Deschanel
Usually you talk about directors in terms of the way they choose camera lenses or a kind of light to create a certain effect. But to me the most valuable commodity for a movie to create is a feeling of life, and that's what A Hard Day's Night has in spades. ~ Michael Patrick Jann
Hard Days quotes by Michael Patrick Jann
Only the Lord knows how many children lose heart because their fathers have hard days. ~ R. Kent Hughes
Hard Days quotes by R. Kent Hughes
There are hard days to live. And sometimes they will be just a few, and sometimes they will seem endless. And eventually you'll come to understand that we've all been there before - or more than likely are going there now. And maybe that idea will make it easier for you, and maybe it won't. But there will still be hard days to live, and you will still have to find your way through them. ~ Carew Papritz
Hard Days quotes by Carew Papritz
1962 to 1965, where suddenly the guitar became this icon of youth culture all over the world, thanks mostly to the Beatles. Add to that, that I saw A Hard Day's Night 12 or 13 times, and that the guitar was the one instrument that my parents absolutely refused to let in the house. So you add it up and see that irresistible forces led me to the guitar. ~ Pat Metheny
Hard Days quotes by Pat Metheny
There's nothing better than sinking into my feather pillows after a hard day's work. ~ Kirsten Prout
Hard Days quotes by Kirsten Prout
I'm not the sort of person who does my mathematics writing on paper. I do that at the last stage of the game. I do my mathematics in my head. I sit down for a hard day's work and I write nothing all day. I just think. And I walk up and down because that helps keep me awake, it keeps the blood circulating, and I think and think. ~ Michael Atiyah
Hard Days quotes by Michael Atiyah
what would you call this haircut?"
arthur. ~ George Harrison
Hard Days quotes by George Harrison
Their life together was filled with bright mornings and starlit nights that consistently outshone the darker times between. Even those hard days were times of learning when their differences became gifts from one to the other. ~ Steve Earle
Hard Days quotes by Steve Earle
And we step off the curb, all of us together, as if to say: Here we come. Through hard days and good ones, through despair and through exhilaration, in love and out of love, for just now or for forever. Here we come. It's our parade. ~ Nina LaCour
Hard Days quotes by Nina LaCour
I want to thank my mom, Brenda Rose. My heart, the reason I play the way I play, just everything. Just knowing the days I don't feel right, going to practice, having a hard time, I think about her when she had to wake me up, go to work and make sure I was all right. Those were hard days. ~ Derrick Rose
Hard Days quotes by Derrick Rose
I think it's important to have a greater purpose behind modeling. Don't model just because you're pretty and you want to make money. Every girl wants that. You have to stand out from everyone else and on those really hard days, that is really the only thing that will keep you going. ~ Whitney Thompson
Hard Days quotes by Whitney Thompson
I saw A Hard Day's Night 12 or 13 times. ~ Pat Metheny
Hard Days quotes by Pat Metheny
People think that if a man has undergone any hardship, he should have a reward; but for my part, if I have done the hardest possible day's work, and then come to sit down in a corner and eat my supper comfortably -why, then I don't think I deserve any reward for my hard day's work -for am I not now at peace? Is not my supper good? ~ Herman Melville
Hard Days quotes by Herman Melville
A year seems very long to wait before I see them, but remind them that while we wait we may all work, so these hard days need not be wasted. I know they will remember all I said to them, that they will be loving children to you, will do their duty faithfully, fight their bosom enemies bravely, and conquer themselves so beautifully that when I come back to them I may be fonder and prouder than ever of my little women. ~ Louisa May Alcott
Hard Days quotes by Louisa May Alcott
Without gospel truths, man's efforts to reach his goals are like the northbound explorer who drove his dog sled feverishly northward on an ice pack that was flowing southward - only to find himself farther from his destination at the end of a hard day's journey than he had been at dawn! ~ Neal A. Maxwell
Hard Days quotes by Neal A. Maxwell
My only concern was to get home after a hard day's work. ~ Rosa Parks
Hard Days quotes by Rosa Parks
Has any movie captured a moment in social, let alone musical, history with as much acuity and joy as 'A Hard Day's Night'? ~ Richard Corliss
Hard Days quotes by Richard Corliss
Jews know hard days like the rest of us. Yes, Jews suffered - it's part of being human ... Jews did not suffer more than any other comparable group of people. Jews as a rule belonged to the exploiting classes; that is why the Jewish Quarter is located next to the Royal palaces in Seville and Paris. ~ Israel Shamir
Hard Days quotes by Israel Shamir
The writer's life: Hard days, lots of work, no money, too much silence. Nobody's fault. You chose it. ~ Bill Barich
Hard Days quotes by Bill Barich
Initially, I used to cart coke from the West Melbourne Gasworks -12 tonne a day, 150-pound sacks. I'd come home looking like Al Jolson at the end of the day - white teeth, black face ... A good hard day's work. ~ Lindsay Fox
Hard Days quotes by Lindsay Fox
After a hard day scrambling to find your way around in the world, it's assuring to come home to a place you know. God can be equally familiar to you. With time you can learn where to go for nourishment, where to hide for protection , where to turn for guidance. Just as your earthly house is a place of refuge, so God's house is a place of peace. ~ Max Lucado
Hard Days quotes by Max Lucado
Some scientists use TeX or LatEX but for most people Word is the thing that writers use these days. ~ Miguel De Icaza
Hard Days quotes by Miguel De Icaza
I have never had great expectations of my performance or of a film. I try not to think about the outcome. If you look that far ahead, it sort of taints your choices as an actor. I try as
hard as I can to believe that no one is ever going to see it and that it's not even a movie. Then you can allow yourself to bare more. Then, once a project is done, I tend to forget about it
until it comes out. ~ Heath Ledger
Hard Days quotes by Heath Ledger
I'm more influenced by characters than standups. I love strong, comic women because it's so hard, and I have so much respect for anyone who can do it. I'm a big fan of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler and people like that. ~ Amy Hoggart
Hard Days quotes by Amy Hoggart
Even the weather seemed to be celebrating; as June approached, the days became cloudless and sultry, and all anybody felt like doing was strolling onto the grounds and flopping down on the grass with several pints of iced pumpkin juice, perhaps playing a casual game of Gobstones or watching the giant squid propel itself dreamily across the surface of the lake. ~ J.K. Rowling
Hard Days quotes by J.K. Rowling
You know that old expression "It's not whether you win or lose; it's how you play the game". That line was definitely not coined by a chef. Because for a chef, it's only about whether or not you pull through. If you fail, nobody cares how hard you tried. ~ Marcus Samuelsson
Hard Days quotes by Marcus Samuelsson
Life is much different from the days when there were lilies in my mother's garden, and all my secrets fit into a paper cup. ~ Lauren DeStefano
Hard Days quotes by Lauren DeStefano
Eternity is not an unending succession of days in the calendar, but something more like the supreme moment of satisfaction, in which totality embraces us and we embrace totality. ~ Pope Benedict XVI
Hard Days quotes by Pope Benedict XVI
Do one act of kindness each day of the year and change 365 lives. ~ Anthony D. Williams
Hard Days quotes by Anthony D. Williams
Abortion is a hard thing for Hollywood to deal with because it is so controversial and you don't want to alienate half your audience by sending one message or the other. ~ Cynthia Nixon
Hard Days quotes by Cynthia Nixon
It's hard for me to even watch comedies I'm in. ~ Verne Troyer
Hard Days quotes by Verne Troyer
I was suddenly overwhelmed by what an incredible person this boy was, standing in front of me, and by the fact that he was mine and I was his. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Hard Days quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
I'm not afraid of hard work. I like it! It's the other bit - the not working - I find more problematic. If I'm not busy, I just get antsy. I've been this way since I was a child. Sitting still is like torture for me. ~ Pixie Lott
Hard Days quotes by Pixie Lott
It's hard to beat a person that never gives up. ~ Babe Ruth
Hard Days quotes by Babe Ruth
The Tapas and the other hard Yogas that were practiced in other Yugas do not work now. What is needed in this Yuga is giving, helping others. ~ Swami Vivekananda
Hard Days quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Every picture tells a story. But sometimes it's hard to know what story is actually being told. ~ Anastasia Hollings
Hard Days quotes by Anastasia Hollings
You may be trying to drive in a particular direction that people don't necessarily understand at first. In our case, we knew the users we had in mind for this product. So in the early days, we looked at our customers, really just testers at that point, and we paid extra attention to the teams we knew should be using Slack successfully. ~ Stewart Butterfield
Hard Days quotes by Stewart Butterfield
You think writing a book is hard? Wait until you give it to someone to read. ~ Ken Stark
Hard Days quotes by Ken Stark
I don't expect anything from anybody. When you grow old ... Your days are gone; it is part of life. ~ Om Puri
Hard Days quotes by Om Puri
Moving container from Kigali to Mombasa used to take 22 days, now it takes 6 days. ~ Paul Kagame
Hard Days quotes by Paul Kagame
And so I was scared. I was scared of my own sexual hunger, which felt so secretive and uncharted, and I was scared of the sexual hunger of boys, which felt so vivid and overt, and I was terribly uncertain of the relationships between sex and power and value, which seemed so merged and hard to tease apart. In the midst of all that, I didn't exactly loathe my body, or feel ashamed of it, but I was deeply ashamed of my fear, which felt disabling and immature and woefully, painfully uncool, a terrible secret, evidence of some profound failing and ignorance on my part. Other girls, or so I imagined, knew what to do, how to use their power, how to derive pleasure from it, and in contrast, I felt not only freakish but isolated, as though I was standing outside a vital, defining loop. ~ Caroline Knapp
Hard Days quotes by Caroline Knapp
Unfortunately, these days, 'literary' writing seems to have become synonymous with 'showy' writing, writing that is beautiful but doesn't tell a story. This is a misguided trend. If today's 'literary' writers would look back only one or two hundred years at real literary writers like Dostoyevsky, Poe, Conrad, Melville, they would find momentous stories
not just pretty writing
at the core of almost all of their great works. ~ Noah Lukeman
Hard Days quotes by Noah Lukeman
There are a couple hard things. One, getting a funny idea that people can relate to; a funny idea or a funny script; there's a million pitches. ~ David Spade
Hard Days quotes by David Spade
It was unfair that people who longed for love the most, searched the hardest for it, found it so elusive. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Hard Days quotes by Lisa Kleypas
I've learned the hard way that the best thing to do is say nothing about what you're really thinking. If you say nothing, they'll assume you're thinking nothing, only what you let them see. ~ Jennifer Niven
Hard Days quotes by Jennifer Niven
Grief, by its very nature, is designed to suck the life out of us because we are so willing to join our dead. It's supposed to be this hard to figure out to do next, but it's that 'next' that makes us the living, and not our dead. ~ Rebecca Yarros
Hard Days quotes by Rebecca Yarros
Yet they are unmoved when told of the cruel blow that fortune has dealt them, happy to see out their days on this unknown and unspoiled atoll. They will tell you that the view from their windows is infinitely more magnificent than Manhattan's glittering skyline. ~ Giles Milton
Hard Days quotes by Giles Milton
Facing her fear turned out to be the only hard part. ~ Diane Chamberlain
Hard Days quotes by Diane Chamberlain
Pain dutifully reminds me that the world is terribly imperfect, but it faithfully helps me appreciate the world on those days when it's a little closer to being perfect. ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
Hard Days quotes by Craig D. Lounsbrough
Professor Irwin Corey had some of the best timing in the world, and that is something you can't steal. He talked nonsense, not punch-lines, per se. It was a great performance thing he did and his timing was impeccable. Pat Paulsen was a master of comedy too. The Smothers Brothers' strength was not in the content, but how it was said. We had a couple of our albums, including the Purple Onion album, translated in script form. It didn't work at all. It is no wonder that writers had a hard time writing for the Smothers Brothers, because they wrote impressions, but there was something else. ~ Tommy Smothers
Hard Days quotes by Tommy Smothers
Rise up smiling, and walk with me. Rise up in the armor of thy body and what shall pass shall make thee unafraid. Walk among the yellow hills, for they belong to thee. Walk upon grass and let thy feet descend into soft soil; in the end when all has failed thee the soil shall comfort thee, the soil shall receive thee and in thy dark bed thou shalt find such peace as is thy portion.

In thine armor, hear my voice. In thine armor, hear. Whatsoever thou doest, thy friend and thy brother and thy woman shall betray thee. Whatsoever thou dost plant, the weeds and the seasons shall spite thee. Wheresoever thou goest, the heavens shall fall upon thee. Though the nations shall come unto thee in friendship thou art curst. Know that the Gods ignore thee. Know that thou art Life, and that pain shall forever come into thee, though thy years be without end and thy days without sleep, even and forever. And knowing this, in thine armor, thou shalt rise up.

Red and full and glowing is thy heart; a steel is forging within thy breast. And what can hurt thee now? In thy granite mansion, what can hurt thee ever? Thou shalt only die. Therefore seek not redemption nor forgiveness for thy sins, for know that thou hast never sinned.

Let the Gods come unto thee. ~ Michael Shaara
Hard Days quotes by Michael Shaara
Do you know why you wanted to make me angry?" He spoke directly against her parted, panting lips. "Because you know it makes me hard. You know it makes me hot to fuck." He tilted his hips and pushed against her, demonstrating the effect of her words. "That means you're hot to get fucked. Good. Too bad you're about to get much more than you bargained for, hustler. Turn around. ~ Tessa Bailey
Hard Days quotes by Tessa Bailey
you felt like you are lost, and sorrow used to live in you; only hope keep you alive, sometimes you should always remember that, without sorrow and sadness you won't known the essence of happiness and success. ~ Daniel Oluwaseun
Hard Days quotes by Daniel Oluwaseun
I value my reputation. I work hard to avoid even the appearance of impropriety. ~ Richard Hanna
Hard Days quotes by Richard Hanna
But the moon was so large and clear through the uncurtained window that it made me think instead of a story my mother had told me, about driving to horse shows with her mother and father in the back seat of their old Buick when she was little. "It was a lot of travelling - ten hours sometimes through hard country. Ferris wheels, rodeo rings with sawdust, everything smelled like popcorn and horse manure. One night we were in San Antonio, and I was having a bit of a melt-down - wanting my own room, you know, my dog, my own bed - and Daddy lifted me up on the fairgrounds and told me to look at the moon. 'When you feel homesick,' he said, 'just look up. Because the moon is the same wherever you go.' So after he died, and I had to go to Aunt Bess - I mean, even now, in the city, when I see a full moon, it's like he's telling me not to look back or feel sad about things, that home is wherever I am." She kissed me on the nose. "Or where you are, puppy. The center of my earth is you. ~ Donna Tartt
Hard Days quotes by Donna Tartt
Why not, if it feels good and someone offers? However, fucking wise? As of a few days ago, I just want one thing, and since he hasn't punched me in the face yet, I'm thinking I may have a shot at it. ~ Ella Frank
Hard Days quotes by Ella Frank
In Jones's experience, the decision to turn one's life around in a different direction rarely arrived with fireworks and marching bands. Often, the decision came with tears and regret. Then, almost impossibly, the power of forgiveness would fill an unseen void, allowing a new day's optimism and sense of purpose to take hold and point that life in a new direction. ~ Andy Andrews
Hard Days quotes by Andy Andrews
Everybody thought that Titanic was the most romantic movie ever. A story about two teenagers who knew each other for three days. Try to make that movie with a couple that's been together for a few years. 'Get in the goddamn boat, Rose!' 'I don't wanna get in the boat!' 'Get in, come on, I'm freezing my ass off out here! I wanted to go to Jamaica, but no, we had to go on a cruise in the middle of the winter!' 'You never draw me naked anymore' ~ Greg Giraldo
Hard Days quotes by Greg Giraldo
I fled Him down the nights and down the days
I fled Him down the arches of the years
I fled Him down the labyrinthine ways
Of my own mind, and in the midst of tears
I hid from him, and under running laughter. ~ Francis G. Thompson
