brutal


"There are some things which cannot be learned quickly, and time, which is all we have, must be paid heavily for their acquiring. They are the very simplest things and because it takes a man's life to know them the little new that each man gets from life is very costly in the only heritage he has to leave."
- Ernest Hemingway [1899-1961]

Earlier references to Hemingway here and here.
