External Hard

Famous quotes containing the words external and/or hard:

“A State, in idea, is the opposite of a Church. A State regards classes, and not individuals; and it estimates classes, not by internal merit, but external accidents, as property, birth, etc. But a church does the reverse of this, and disregards all external accidents, and looks at men as individual persons, allowing no gradations of ranks, but such as greater or less wisdom, learning, and holiness ought to confer. A Church is, therefore, in idea, the only pure democracy.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

“Harry: I don’t know when you’ll get back home. Could be a long time.
Slim: Could be forever, or are you afraid of that? I’m hard to get, Steve. All you have to do is ask me.”
—Jules Furthman (1888–1960)
