The battle of life is, in most cases, fought uphill; and to win it without a struggle were perhaps to win it without honour. If there were no difficulties there would be no success; if there were nothing to struggle for, there would be nothing to be achieved. Samuel Smiles		Friday Jun 12, 2026

Other John Irving Quotes
It is hard work and great art to make life not so serious. Prostitutes know this too. Life is serious, but art is fun. We invent what we love, and what we fear. A personal injustice is stronger motivation than any instinct for philanthropy. You've got to get obsessed and stay obsessed.
