I look into the faces of people struggling with their own lives, and I do not see strangers.
The struggles I'm facing The chances I'm taking Sometimes might knock me down But no, I'm not breaking.

Writing is the way I participate in the struggle.
What is failure for some is success for others. It depends on where they stand in the struggles over "democratic governance" and related rights - civil, social and economic, and broadly cultural, to adopt the framework of the Universal Declaration that is formally endorsed but constantly undermined.
That's kind of the nature of the profession I'm in. It's frustrating. Things don't go your way, and I was no exception, in that I spent many years struggling to get work, and there are a lot of people more talented than myself who got jobs before me. And I finally, after years and years and years, got lucky.
I sometimes struggle, because my job is like the antithesis of what surfing is all about. Surfing's simple. It's real.

As a writer, I have always considered it my job to describe the world as I know it; to struggle toward whatever portion of the truth is available to me.
Often, you have to fail as a writer before you write that bestselling novel or ground-breaking memoir.

I relate to what Gov. Romney brings. I know what it means to balance a budget. I know what it means to write a paycheck and not only cash one. I know what it means to create a job, and I know what it means to struggle with my business every day in terms of keeping our doors open any day but definitely in a difficult economy.
Life in America is nothing but struggle, you gotta continue to try to overcome. Keep organizing, Obama said, keep organizing, grab a clipboard, get your signatures and start protesting, run for office yourself, but the shtruggle, the shtruggle is what defines us and we must continue with the shtruggle. Just pathetic, folks, the whole thing is pathetic.
