“When I was little, I had this science book. There was a section on 'What would happen to the world if there was no friction?' Answer: 'Everything on earth would fly into space from the centrifugal force of revolution.' That was my mood.”
― Haruki Murakami, Dance Dance Dance

“Live a life of friction. Let yourself be disturbed as much as possible, but observe.”
― G.I. Gurdjieff

“25. Whenever two human beings spend time together, sooner or later they will probably irritate one another. This is true of best friends, married couples, parents and children, or teachers and students. The question is: How do they respond when friction occurs? There are four basic ways they can react:

�� They can internalize the anger and send it downward into a memory bank that never forgets. This creates great pressure within and can even result in disease and other problems.
�� They can pout and be rude without discussing the issues. This further irritates the other person and leaves him or her to draw his or her own conclusions about what the problem may be.
�� They can blow up and try to hurt the other person. This causes the death of friendships, marriages, homes, and businesses.
�� Or they can talk to one another about their feelings, being very careful not to attack the dignity and worth of the other person. This approach often leads to permanent and healthy relationships.”
― James C. Dobson, Life on the Edge: The Next Generation's Guide to a Meaningful Future

“Many of your relationship problems are not really relationship problems. They're personal problems that spill over into relationships.”
― Rick Warren

“The fatal misconception behind brainstorming is that there is a particular script we should all follow in group interactions.... [W]hen the composition of the group is right—enough people with different perspectives running into one another in unpredictable ways—the group dynamic will take care of itself. All these errant discussions add up. In fact, they may even be the most essential part of the creative process. Although such conversations will occasionally be unpleasant—not everyone is always in the mood for small talk or criticism—that doesn’t mean that they can be avoided. The most creative spaces are those which hurl us together. It is the human friction that makes the sparks.”
― Jonah Lehrer

“When you keep hitting walls of resistance in life, the universe is trying to tell you that you are going the wrong way. It's like driving a bumper car at an amusement park. Each time you slam into another car or the edge of the track, you are forced to change direction.”
― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“Millions of business people are each constantly forced to choose between their desire to not be a bad person and their desire to be a good business person, that is to say, to make as much money as they possibly can by maximizing their revenue while minimizing the cost of producing whatever it is that they sell.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana, The Use and Misuse of Children

“Natural selection is not the wind which propels the vessel, but the rudder which, by friction, now on this side and now on that, shapes the course.”
― Asa Gray

“I wasn't always this way. But the friction of life has a way of turning sharp edges into smooth ones, smooth edges into sharp ones, until you've become a duller, slightly misshapen version of your former self.”
― Neel Patel, If You See Me, Don't Say Hi

“The velocities and forces involved in anything at orbital altitudes were enough to kill a human with just the rounding error. At their speeds, the friction from air too thin to breathe would set them on fire.”
― James S.A. Corey, Cibola Burn

“She was soft rock that suddenly turned hard.”

“Layla jumped up and lunged for the paper. Sam held it higher and she collided with him, losing her balance. He circled an arm around her waist to keep her steady, securing her soft body against his chest. Electricity arced between them, warming his blood as he felt the pounding of her unaccommodating heart.
"Bastard." She broke the spell, jumping to get the paper. Her body rubbed up and down against his. Too late, he realized the danger.
"Is this a sales technique?" he whispered in her ear. "A little demonstration for Hassan about what he can expect in bed? Or is it just for me? Because, sweetheart, if he doesn't marry you after this, I will."
Her nostrils flared, and she pulled away. "I wouldn't marry you even if you got down on your knees and begged."
"When I'm with a woman, it's not me doing the begging.”
― Sara Desai, The Marriage Game

“If only we can agree that us mortal human beings only have relevance when there are opposing forces and ideas then we would not be so consumed with tribalism. It is our focus on what others do or say that gives them meaning and relevance. Light that points to the clear sky is consumed by darkness.. In the absence of a reflective object light has no relevance.. Friction/resistance is necessary for forward movement.”
― Lennox D.Lampkin

“A certain amount of friction is necessary in our lives to provide enough heat to mold our minds and cast our mettle to shape the legend we become.”
― Will Craig, Living the Hero's Journey

“She was a walking deposition to every encounter that fed a dark hunger for confrontation.”
― The Fly Garden, 2017 Facebook

“Religion is one of the oils with which we alleviate the friction between those who have a lot and those who have nothing.”
― Mokokoma Mokhonoana

“Saying "I'm sorry for the inconvenience" many times doesn't fix the fact that your process is a mess and you are not addressing it even now”
― Daren Martin

“She pressed a soft kiss to his cheek, licked the strong line of his jaw, the chin with a tiny cleft in the center. She liked his scratchy stubble, the erotic burning sensation it made on her skin as he licked and sucked the sensitive dip between her neck and her shoulder.”
― Sara Desai, The Marriage Game

“His cock was throbbing, the crown oozing with his sexual juice. He stabilized her and partook of an unhurried flex against her cleft.
As though she'd been poked with a pin, she jerked upright. "Why do you keep doing that?"
"Doing what?" He pretended innocence, flattening her against his erection, and feasting with another leisurely flex.
"That thrusting motion. It just feels so... so..."
"Extraordinary?"
"Yes. But naughty, too. And forbidden." She wedged herself more fully along the crest of his phallus. "My body seems to fathom what you propose, when I've no notion myself."
"Absolutely." His wanton fingers slipped under the hem of her chemise and petted the smooth skin of her thighs.”
― Cheryl Holt, Total Surrender

“In the universe of atoms, friction is the norm, not the exception. It's this very opposition, this challenge, that ignites the spark of innovation. When the world seems against you, embrace that resistance. It's the sandpaper to your innovation, the very friction that shapes your destiny. Never stop pushing. Never stop dreaming. Here's to the crazy ones who use that friction to sculpt their future.”
― H.S. Crow, Lunora

“Here's to friction, and to fiction. Without the one we would all slip away, and without the other we seldom would.”
― A.J. Schaar

“Life always involves friction either positive, negative, or neutral. When friction stops, life stops.”
― Garry Fitchett

“Progress without friction is just movement in an empty space.”
― Nitzan Hamburg

“One day when you stop by for the study, the bowl of popcorn is on the table within easy reach, about a foot away, while the apple slices are on a counter—visible, although you’d have to stand up to take one. On another day you stop by, the apples are on the table and the popcorn is on the counter. Participants ate about 50 calories when the apples were within easy reach, but about three times more when the popcorn bowl was within reach. Friction in this study was pretty simple—distance. Just putting the high-calorie snack slightly out of reach was substantial friction. Participants could still see and smell the popcorn, but the distance was enough to discourage eating. By putting desserts at the end of the line (instead of at the beginning) and making healthy foods easier to see, restaurants can influence what people eat. As the saying goes, “Eye level is buy level.�� If we have to bend low or reach high, we’re less likely to bother.”

“If you feel prolonged friction, frustration, and even misery then there are probably some steps you need to take but you’re resisting because of your ego ‘stuff�� and the way that it resists and distorts what’s real. Trust and take the steps anyway.”
― Oli Anderson, Trust: A Manual for Becoming the Void, Building Flow, and Finding Peace
