To break and be able to grow together again in a better way: that is the difficult art.
--
Statement of 1963, as quoted in Asger Jorn (2002) by Arken Museum of Modern ArtAsger Jorn
By the time we awaken faintly to the awareness that we have been socially conditioned, we find ourselves so indoctrinated that it's difficult, if not impossible, to break the old patterns...Survival pressures demanding that we evolve, grow, and change, however, continue to proliferate. We don't want to change, but the floodgates open abruptly and we are overwhelmed.
Crisis!Frank Herbert
Self-hatred is a devastatingly difficult habit to break, especially when we are mostly unaware of it.
Margaret Cho
We are getting to be of an age when it is difficult to grow new friends; we haven't the energy, the time to cultivate; each one gone is a permanent impoverishment.
John Leonard
But I do all of this, not because I want to life scripturally, but because church culture has a certain rhythm. And when you have marched to this beat since infancy, it is difficult to break free from.
Don Miller
Now civilizations, I believe, come to birth and proceed to grow by successfully responding to successive challenges. They break down and go to pieces if and when a challenge confronts them which they fail to meet.
