Text Quotes
We attempt to define a person, the most commonplace person we know, but he will not submit to bounds; some unexpected beauty of nature breaks out; we find he is not what we thought, and begin to suspect that every person exceeds our power of measurement  (Attempt Quotes) True courage is the willingness to fully experience whatever you are feeling at the moment. You can attempt to run from your emotions, but eventually they will catch up with you. They will chase you, haunt you, until finally you give up the chase  (Attempt Quotes) The weird thing is that I hate to fly, and the quote that I give people is that every time I get off a plane, I view it as a failed suicide attempt  (Attempt Quotes) You don’t want to block your thoughts, emotions, and so on; nor do you want to chase after them. If you chase after them, if you let them lead you, they begin to define you, and you lose your ability to respond openly and spontaneously in the present moment. On the other hand, if you attempt to block your thoughts, your mind can become quite tight and small  (Attempt Quotes) There is no such thing as failure for an artist, unless failure is the refusal to attempt, the unwillingness to dream  (Attempt Quotes) When there is trust, conflict becomes nothing but the pursuit of truth, an attempt to find the best possible answer  (Attempt Quotes) We believe that every relationship is unique unto itself, and thus even an attempt to think in types and forms is not going to express the essential truths of what happens when we love people  (Attempt Quotes) Disease is nothing else but an attempt on the part of the body to rid itself of morbific matter  (Attempt Quotes) A film in which the speech and sound effects are perfectly synchronized and coincide with their visual image on the screen is absolutely contrary to the aims of cinema. It is a degenerate and misguided attempt to destroy the real use of the film and cannot be accepted as coming within the true boundaries of the cinema  (Attempt Quotes) It is an absolutely vain endeavor to attempt to reconstruct or even comprehend the nature of a human being by simply knowing the forces which have acted upon him. However deeply we should like to penetrate, however close we seem to be drawing to truth, one unknown quantity eludes us: man’s primordial energy, his original self, that personality which was given him with the gift of life itself. On it rests man’s true freedom; it alone determines his real character  (Attempt Quotes) Opportunities for fraud are open and they are taken advantage of. The most elementary precautions are neither taken nor even contemplated. The reverse is the case. People such as myself who attempt to bring openness and accountability to the system are pursued, suspended and dismissed  (Attempt Quotes) Everything you need to know about life can be learned from a genuine and ongoing attempt to write  (Attempt Quotes) The terminology of philosophical art is coercive: arguments are powerful and best when they are knockdown, arguments force you to a conclusion, if you believe the premisses you have to or must believe the conclusion, some arguments do not carry much punch, and so forth. A philosophical argument is an attempt to get someone to believe something, whether he wants to beleive it or not. A successful philosophical argument, a strong argument, forces someone to a belief  (Attempt Quotes) Anyone who would attempt the task of felling a virgin forest with a penknife would probably feel the same paralysis of despair that the reformer feels when confronted with existing school systems  (Attempt Quotes) I shall attempt to prove two things: first, that the actions and dispositions of mankind are the offspring of circumstances and events, and not of any original determination that they bring into the world; and, secondly, that the great stream of our voluntary actions essentially depends, not upon the direct and immediate impulses of sense, but upon the decisions of the understanding  (Attempt Quotes) For at least the past 65 years, liberalism has been nothing if not an attempt to strike a balance between the needs of the community and the needs of individuals, between the need for freedom and the need for order  (Attempt Quotes) Previous to this time I had never even a balloon except from a distance. Being interested in their construction, I was about to institute a thorough examination of all its parts, when the aeronaut announced that all was ready. He inquired whether I desired to go up alone, or he should accompany me. My desire, if frankly expressed, would have been not to go up at all; but if I was to go, company was certainly desirable. With an attempt at indifference, I intimated that he might go along  (Attempt Quotes) A choral dance: an attempt to impose upon a chance gathering of a few dozen guests a communal feeling  (Attempt Quotes) Sometimes it is best for men not to attempt to interfere with destiny. Our prayers can be answered in ways which we do not expect and do not welcome  (Attempt Quotes) What we attempt to do is not without danger. What we attempt to do may not succeed. But it is right and it is just. We act for the good of all  (Attempt Quotes) Golf is a terrible, hopeless addiction, it seems: it makes its devotees willing to trudge miles in any manner of weather, lugging a huge, incommodious and appallingly heavy bag with them, in pursuit of a tiny and fantastically expensive ball, in a fanatical attempt to direct it into a hole the size of a beer glass half a mile away. If anything could be better calculated to convince one of the essential lunacy of the human race, I haven’t found it  (Attempt Quotes) Never not dare to hang yourself. That’s the only way you grow in your profession. You must continually attempt things that you think are beyond you, or you get into a complete rut  (Attempt Quotes) Those who attempt to evangelize the culture by imitating its forms must beware lest the culture evangelize them  (Attempt Quotes) Every single one of us possesses the strength to attempt something he isn’t sure he can accomplish  (Attempt Quotes) I am convinced that any photographic attempt to show the complete man is nonsense. We can only show, as best we can, what the outer man reveals. The inner man is seldom revealed to anyone, sometimes not even the man himself  (Attempt Quotes) One might as well attempt to describe the smoothness of the wind as to paint a clear picture of his complete swing  (Attempt Quotes) Whats a gonzotic frenzy? Well its me in the throes of an ink splattering attempt to capture the feeling I have at that particular time  (Attempt Quotes) When you’re being earnest, people think you’re being sarcastic and when you’re being sarcastic, they think you’re being earnest. The moral in all this, of course, is that people should never attempt to communicate  (Attempt Quotes) There are patterns because we try to find them. A desperate attempt at order because we can’t face the terror that it might all be random  (Attempt Quotes) To some extent, we are all labeled by what we’re able to achieve. But more importantly, we are defined by what we attempt  (Attempt Quotes)
