Hard Usage

Famous quotes containing the words hard and/or usage:

    It is hard to love those we do not truly esteem; but it is no less so to love those we esteem a great deal more than ourselves.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    I am using it [the word ‘perceive’] here in such a way that to say of an object that it is perceived does not entail saying that it exists in any sense at all. And this is a perfectly correct and familiar usage of the word.
    —A.J. (Alfred Jules)
