I meant it is difficult in Lojban. John proposes {re lo pisu'o loi papri},
which seems ok, even though pisu'o looks like the inner quantifier for {lo}.

I don't see any way to say this more concisely than in English:

loi mi papri cu zunle mi  i loi mi papri cu pritu mi
i lei zunle papri ku joi lei pritu papri cu du piro loi mi papri
