“Life's harder, the deeper you feel things.”

“Life's harder, the deeper you feel things, was all I could think as I put the books away. Feelings, who needs them? Sometimes they're like a gift, when you feel love or happiness. Sometimes they're a curse.”

“As writers, we feel things deeper than other people, we hurt more, we love bigger, we cry harder and we smile wider. This is the essence, the fuel, to what we do.”

“Christianity is like a nail," he (Yemelian Yaroslavsky). "The harder you strike it, the deeper it goes.”

“That's always the way in life: the longer you leave things, the harder they are to do.”

“As you grow older, it becomes harder to feel 100 percent happy; you learn all the things that can go wrong, you become superstitious about tempting fate, about bringing disaster upon your life by accidentally feeling too good one day.”
