Text Quotes
We ought to be very cautious in the prosecution of magic and heresy. The attempt to put down these two crimes may be extremely perilous to liberty, and may be the origin of a number of petty acts of tyranny if the legislator be not on his guard; for as such an accusation does not bear directly on the overt acts of a citizen, but refers to the idea we entertain of his character (Attempt Quotes)
There is no better exercise than to study and devour a picture, and then, without looking at it again, to attempt the next day to reproduce it (Attempt Quotes)
The sublime in art is the attempt to express the infinite without finding in the realm of phenomena any object which proves itself fitting for this representation (Attempt Quotes)
Life is one long struggle to disinter oneself, to keep one’s head above the accumulations, the ever deepening layers of objects... which attempt to cover one over, steadily, almost irresistibly, like falling snow (Attempt Quotes)
Nature attains perfection, but man never does. There is a perfect ant, a perfect bee, but man is perpetually unfinished. He is both an unfinished animal and an unfinished man. It is this incurable unfinishedness which sets man apart from other living things. For, in the attempt to finish himself, man becomes a creator. Moreover, the incurable unfinishedness keeps man perpetually immature, perpetually capable of learning and growing (Attempt Quotes)
There’s no mastery to be had. You love the attempt. You don’t master a story any more than you master a river. You feel lucky to canoe down it (Attempt Quotes)
The attempt to make the consumption of beer criminal is as silly and as futile as if you passed a law to send a man to jail for eating cucumber salad (Attempt Quotes)
All of us, in a sense, struggle continuously all the time, because we never get what we want. The important thing which I’ve really learned is how do you not give up, because you never succeed in the first attempt (Attempt Quotes)
Men... look back on the children who were once themselves, and attempt to reconstruct them. But they can no longer think like the child (Attempt Quotes)
And do you agree with me, that the first condition of an artist should be to bear respect toward what is great, and to bow to it and acknowledge it and not attempt to extinguish great flames for the sake of making his own rushlight burn more brightly? (Attempt Quotes)
All poetry and music, and art of every true sort, bears witness to man’s continual falling in love with beauty and his desperate attempt to induce beauty to live with him and enrich his common life (Attempt Quotes)
The fundamentalist violence is, so is it, an attempt to increase the stakes, i.e. to discourage the potential desertions by showing that defection will cost them dear, that those who adopt other values will be persecuted or even killed (Attempt Quotes)
Because I believe that abortion is murder, I also believe that force is justified in an attempt to stop it (Attempt Quotes)
Who would attempt to fly with the tiny wings of a sparrow when the mighty power of an eagle has been given him (Attempt Quotes)
It is better to understand a part of truth and apply it to our lives than to understand nothing at all and flounder helplessly in a vain attempt to pierce the mystery of existence (Attempt Quotes)
Is the world ruled by strict laws or not? This question I regard as metaphysical. The laws we find are always hypotheses; which means that they may always be superseded, and that they may possibly be deduced from probability estimates. Yet denying causality would be the same as attempting to persuade the theorist to give up his search; and that such an attempt cannot be backed by anything like a proof (Attempt Quotes)
It is, of course, much easier to shout, abuse, and howl than to attempt to relate, to explain (Attempt Quotes)
Shame, I do believe, is the most powerful emotion known to man; most discoveries and journeys of importance have been accomplished because of the ignominy that would be the result if the attempt was abandoned (Attempt Quotes)
If you ever look sideways at another man or attempt to refuse me I shall beat you. Got it? (Attempt Quotes)
I will make an attempt to attain freedom, the youthful soul says to itself; and is it to be hindered in this by the fact that two nations happen to hate and fight one another, or that two continents are separated by an ocean, or that all around it a religion is taught with did not yet exist a couple of thousand years ago. All that is not you, it says to itself. No one can construct for you the bridge upon which precisely you must cross the stream of life, no one but you yourself alone (Attempt Quotes)
There are some persons who never succeed from being too indolent to undertake anything; and others who regularly fail, because the instant they find success in their power, they grow indifferent, and give over the attempt (Attempt Quotes)
I have come to think that both sex and politics are a mistake and that any attempt to establish a connection between the two is the greatest error of all (Attempt Quotes)
I attempt to be who I am and it’s fun. At the same time, growing up doing what I’m doing can be a little crazy (Attempt Quotes)
I suggest that it is the honesty of the attempt to recreate the forms and spaces visually without artistic editing that is one of the hallmarks of realist painting (Attempt Quotes)
Ethics seems a morass which we have to cross, but get hopelessly bogged in when we make the attempt (Attempt Quotes)
Promiscuous reading is necessary to the constituting of human nature. The attempt to keep out evil doctrine by licensing is like the exploit of that gallant man who thought to keep out the crows by shutting the park gate (Attempt Quotes)
The attempt is all the wedge that splits its knotty way betwixt the impossible and possible (Attempt Quotes)
Nothing can be more hopeless than to attempt to explain this similarity of pattern in members of the same class, by utility or by the doctrine of final causes (Attempt Quotes)
All those hints and glimpses of a larger and more satisfying democracy, which literature and our own hopes supply, have a tendency to slip away from us and to leave us sadly unguided and perplexed when we attempt to act upon them (Attempt Quotes)
The totalitarian attempt at global conquest and total domination has been the destructive way out of all impasses. Its victory may coincide with the destruction of humanity; wherever it has ruled, it has begun to destroy the essence of man (Attempt Quotes)
