One friend in a lifetime is much; two are many; three hardly possible.
Henry Brooks Adams

One hardly knows where, in the history of science, to look for an important movement that had its effective start in so pure and simple an accident as that which led to the building of the great Washington telescope, and went on to the discovery of the satellites of Mars.
Simon Newcomb

One hardly saves a world without ruling it.
Emile M. Cioran

Onstage, I am a devil. But I'm hardly a social reject.
Freddie Mercury

Our nature hardly allows us to have enough of anything without having too much.
George Savile

People got insights into what was bothering them, but they hardly did a damn thing to change.
Albert Ellis

Philosophy, like medicine, has plenty of drugs, few good remedies, and hardly any specific cures.

Jim Morrison

Sex is hardly ever just about sex.
Shirley MacLaine

SF isn't a genre; SF is the matrix in which genres are embedded, and because the SF field is never going in any one direction at any one time, there is hardly a way to cut it off.
Larry Niven

Shakespeare fascinated me. He hardly ever left the country. His imagination was worldwide though reading.
Michael Tippett

Sir Hugh Greene is the man I hold most responsible for the state of our country today. For 11 years hardly a week went by without a sniping reference to me. And he gave access to anyone who was prepared to say anything morally subversive.
Mary Whitehouse

Social order at the expense of liberty is hardly a bargain.
Marquis de Sade

Somali is turning into a desert. Rwanda, you can hardly find a place to plant a potato, it's so crowded.
Jim Fowler
