Thabo MbekiYour closest relationships are often the ones that have the most effect on you, but they are frequently the ones most difficult to change. These relationships are complex and have long histories. Lifetime habits of avoiding being really present with each other may exist in many of them.

Even with the best intentions, it can be very difficult to get beyond the past and into the Now.

Soon the house will be full of trunks and I perched on top of them with the phone saying, "Yes, I'm fine, of course, I'm fine, everything's fine." The trunks shudder.
Jeanette WintersonTo destroy a man is difficult, almost as difficult as to create one: it has not been easy, nor quick, but you Germans have succeeded.

Raf SimonsI think self-portraits are very difficult. Iโve always seen mine as straightforward, very stripped down, hair pulled back. No shirt. Whatever light happened to be available. Iโd want it to be very graphic โ about darkness and light. No one else should be there, but Iโm scared to do it by myself. Iโve been thinking about it for a long time. The whole idea of a self-portrait is strange. Iโm so strongly linked to how I see through the camera that to get to the other side of it would be difficult. It would be as if I were taking a photograph in the dark.
