A state that suppresses all freedom of speech, and which by imposing the most terrible punishments, treats each and every attempt at criticism, however morally justified, and every suggestion for improvement as plotting to high treason, is a state that breaks an unwritten law.
Kurt Huber
After all, we are not French and never can be, and any attempt to be so is to deny our inheritance and to try to impose upon ourselves a character that can be nothing but a veneer upon the surface.
Edward Hopper
All laws are an attempt to domesticate the natural ferocity of the species.
John W. Gardner
All my pictures are built around the idea of getting in trouble and so giving me the chance to be desperately serious in my attempt to appear as a normal little gentleman.
Charlie Chaplin
Although Darwin was able to persuade much of the world that a modern eye could be produced gradually from a much simpler structure, he did not even attempt to explain how the simple light sensitive spot that was his starting point actually worked.
Michael Behe
Although strength should fail, the effort will deserve praise. In great enterprises the attempt is enough.
Sextus Propertius
An attempt is already underway to revise history - to leave the impression that the former president had nothing to do with Watergate. But there is no doubt about his obstruction of justice after the Watergate break-in.
John J. Sirica
An attempt to write nothing but characterization will soon bog down; I for one don't want to have somebody tell me about someone else.
Daniel Keys Moran
An enthusiast broods over the oppression of a people till he fancies himself commissioned by Heaven to liberate them. He ventures the attempt, which ends in little else than his own execution.
George Haven Putnam
And yet because of my attempt at sincerity I have been condemned, hooted at, reviled; filthy rumors have been circulated about me, not about my characterizations but about me personally, my private self.
Erich von Stroheim
Any serious attempt to try to do something worthwhile is ritualistic.
Derek Walcott
Any supervisor worth his salt would rather deal with people who attempt too much than with those who try too little.
Lee Iacocca
Art is an attempt to integrate evil.
Simone de Beauvoir
Art, in itself, is an attempt to bring order out of chaos.
Stephen Sondheim
As with all my work, whether it's a leaf on a rock or ice on a rock, I'm trying to get beneath the surface appearance of things. Working the surface of a stone is an attempt to understand the internal energy of the stone.
Andy Goldsworthy
Attempt easy tasks as if they were difficult, and difficult as if they were easy; in the one case that confidence may not fall asleep, in the other that it may not be dismayed.
Baltasar Gracian
Attempt something so impossible that unless God is in it, it's doomed to failure.
John Haggai
Attempt the end, and never stand to doubt. Nothing's so hard but search will find it out.
Robert Herrick
Attempt the impossible in order to improve your work.
Bette Davis
Authority is something from which we are constantly subtracting, of which there remains always a residue, and which we attempt to make smaller and smaller.
Frederica Montseny
