An aphorism is nothing else but the slightest
QUOTES AND APHORISMS ON STRUGGLES
The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
Albert Camus (1913-1960, French existential writer)
The way I see things, the way I see life, I see it as a struggle. And there's a great deal of reward I have gained coming to that understanding -- that existence is a struggle.
Harvey Keitel (1939-, American actor)
As regards the celebrated "struggle for life," it seems to me for the present to have been rather asserted than proved. It does occur, but as the exception; the general aspect of life is not hunger and distress, but rather wealth, luxury, even absurd prodigality -- where there is a struggle it is a struggle for power.
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900, German philosopher)
I have always struggled to achieve excellence. One thing that cycling has taught me is that if you can achieve something without a struggle, it's not going to be satisfying.
Greg LeMond (1961-, American cyclist, 3 times winner of the Tour de France)
There is no longer beauty except in the struggle. No more masterpieces without an aggressive character. Poetry must be a violent assault against the unknown forces in order to overcome them and prostrate them before men.
Tommaso Marinetti (1876-1944, Italian playwright, founder of Futurism)
In a serious struggle there is no worse cruelty than to be magnanimous at an inopportune time.
Leon Trotsky (1879-1940, Russian revolutionary)
I've never forgotten for long at a time that living is struggle. I know that every good and excellent thing in the world stands moment by moment on the razor-edge of danger and must be fought for -- whether it's a field, or a home, or a country.
Thornton Wilder (1897-1975, American novelist, playwright)
