Rigor

Khaled Hosseini Author, Physician

"It was the kind of love that, sooner or later, cornered you into a choice: either you tore free or you stayed and withstood its rigor even as it squeezed you into something smaller than yourself."

Edmund Burke Philosopher, Politician

"An extreme rigor is sure to arm everything against it."

Bill Jay Photographer

"Museum collections have given photography rigor, and mortis."

Friedrich Schiller Playwright, Poet

"Rigor pushed too far is sure to miss its aim, however good, as the bow snaps that is bent too stiffly."
