“The way through the world
Is more difficult to find than the way beyond it.”

“Our way through life should not be difficult — but it is. The fact is that our lives are filled mostly with picking and choosing. "I want this, but not that." And because things are not anything other than the way they really are, we suffer. Nowhere is this more apparent and painful than when we are trying to find life after death. We so desperately want things to be the way they were. But they are not. So the longing itself becomes an additional source of suffering.”

Richard Carlson (1961–2006) Author, psychotherapist and motivational speaker

“Where there’s a will there’s a way. We have the will to world revolution, therefore we must find the way to reach the masses of the exploited and the enslaved women, whether the historical conditions make it easy or difficult.”

Clara Zetkin (1857–1933) German politician

“Nothing in this world was more difficult than love.”

Gabriel García Márquez (1927–2014) Colombian writer

“No one can pass through life, any more than he can pass through a bit of country, without leaving tracks behind, and those tracks may often be helpful to those coming after him in finding their way.”

Robert Baden-Powell (1857–1941) lieutenant-general in the British Army, writer, founder and Chief Scout of the Scout Movement

“People find a way through just about anything.”

Jeanne DuPrau The City of Ember

“As mining became more difficult, as the claims became more difficult to find because there were more miners than there were workable claims, everyone competing and fighting for his smaller and smaller opportunity to strike it rich, you became, therefore… desirous of finding an excuse for your failure, or desirous of finding a way to get an advantage. Well one of the ways was to say, I'm an American; What are the Mexicans doing here? What are the Indians? We don't need the Indians, we can certainly get rid of them. What are the Chinese doing here? Those people shouldn't be here… This isn't their land, this is my land! This belongs to us!”

J. S. Holliday (1924–2006) American historian

“The American way of life is not sustainable. It doesn’t acknowledge that there is a world beyond America.”

Arundhati Roy (1961) Indian novelist, essayist

“Love will find a way through paths where wolves fear to prey.”

George Gordon Byron (1788–1824) English poet and a leading figure in the Romantic movement

“Nothing in this world is difficult, but thinking makes it seem so. Where there is true will, there is always a way.”

Wú Chéng'ēn (1500–1582) Chinese writer
