Life is hard If you seriously understand how the world works you have to die at least once.<ref>

The truth can be a harsh and cruel reality.

Life is difficult.

Oh dear, life is pretty tough sometimes, isn't it?

I must be cruel only to be kind;
Thus bad begins, and worse remains behind.

Is God a cruel bastard or what, to make love so painful?

Life is hard to bear: but do not pretend to be so delicate!

Life is so damned hard, so damned hard... It just hurts people and hurts people, until finally it hurts them so that they can't be hurt ever any more. That's the last and worst thing it does.

cause it's a hard life, with love in the world. and i'm a hard girl, loving me is like chewing on pearls.

Life is very hard. The only people who really live are those who are harder than life itself

It never ceases to amaze me how cruel some people are. Do you think people would be so merciless and torturous if fish and sharks cried like babies when they felt pain?

It is not merely that people must die and people must suffer, if not here, then there. But what is dreadful is that the world goes on and people go on being stupidly cruel - in the old ways and all the time.

Life is very hard. The only people who really live are those who are harder than life itself.

Human beings can be awful cruel to one another.
