Difficult

Famous quotes containing the word difficult:

    Why is it so difficult to see the lesbian—even when she is there, quite plainly, in front of us? In part because she has been “ghosted”Mor made to seem invisible—by culture itself.... Once the lesbian has been defined as ghostly—the better to drain her of any sensual or moral authority—she can then be exorcised.
    Terry Castle, U.S. lesbian author. The Apparitional Lesbian, ch. 1 (1993)

    It is difficult for the common good to prevail against the intense concentration of those who have a special interest, especially if the decisions are made behind locked doors.
    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

    It is difficult to make our material condition better by the best law, but it is easy enough to ruin it by bad laws.
    Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)
