Quotes by Struggle I struggle with staying clean every day, and what really keeps me from doing something stupid is my daughter. Joshua Mohr daughterstupidstruggle I think if there hadn't been the one passage of the book that mostly abandons the humor, and focuses very intently on one person's struggle with cancer, it wouldn't have been a critical success. So that was a very deliberate decision, to say "Well, if you think it's all fun and games, it's not."

Juan Williams strugglemeanbelieve I choose to suppress the initial categories I want to put people in - rich, poor, together, not together, druggie, yuppie, rocker, loser, winner, cool, uncool.
