Christina Rossetti
“Does the road wind up-hill all the way?
Yes, to the very end.
Will the day’s journey take the whole long day?
From morn to night, my friend.”
Christina Rossetti, Up-hill

Haruki Murakami
“When I look around, I sometimes feel discouraged. Why do people make no more effort? "They do nothing and yet they complain that it is unfair."

I looked speechless at the ham. "The way I look at it, people make an effort so that they are about to sign, but maybe I'm wrong"

"They do not exert themselves, they just toil in it," he said without further ado. "It has nothing to do with the type of effort I'm talking about. It's more active and focused.”
Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood
