Robert Henri Quotes

Human beings are weak.

I've got so many weaknesses.

Fragility is the quality of things that are vulnerable to volatility.

At the 2018 Hero World Challenge, I felt brittle. I felt like a gust of wind could push me over if I wasn't careful.

It's so easy for all the success in the world to suddenly end, and I'm quite aware of that.

It is dangerous, at any time, to multiply sources of weakness.

It must be very fragile, if a handful of berries can bring it down.

Everyone is a threat, and anyone can be beat at any given moment. No one is invincible.

Very slight violence will break that which has once been cracked.

I'm still vulnerable and still weak.

Not even self-love can always be counted on for support.

You fear that if you lower your guard for even one second your whole world will disintegrate into chaos

Maybe being powerful means to be fragile.

Every plan is a house of cards.

The least strength suffices to break what is bruised.

You can plan all you want to. You can lie in your morning bed and fill whole notebooks with schemes and intentions. But within a single afternoon, within hours or minutes, everything you plan and everything you have fought to make yourself can be undone as a slug is undone when salt is poured on him. And right up to the moment when you find yourself dissolving into foam you can still believe you are doing fine.

I tried to think of my knowledge, but it was a squirrel's heap of winter nuts. There was no strength in my knowledge any more and I felt small and naked as a new-hatched bird.

With everything so perfect, reality seemed somehow fragile, as if the slightest interruption could imperil her pretty future... all of it felt as tenuous as a soap bubble, shivering and empty.

I have no way and therefore want no eyes I stumbled when I saw. Full oft 'tis seen our means secure us, and our mere defects prove our commodities.

Anything can go away. There's no such thing as safety and security. You can do things that give you the illusion of safety and security, but there's really no such thing.

Sometimes you’re loved because of your weaknesses. What you can’t do is sometimes more compelling than what you can.

There is no shelter in you anywhere.

The dignity of man was everywhere tissue-paper thin.

No man may be completely invulnerable.

The thread breakes, where it is weakest.
