this quote isn’t true for everything. calculus is hard no matter how much you dare (unless of course you happen to be a mathematical genius). and another thing, the spectrum for saying something is difficult is so broad that it’s impossible to be able to put it into such a black and white depiction of it. something that is relative to a person themself shouldn’t have a quote about it.
is it just me or are a lot of these quotes backwards versions of what they say in the first half of it? you’d think that world reknowned philosophers, writers, and scientists could be a little more creative than that.
