Famous quotes containing the words attracts and/or attention:
“One mustnt look at the abyss, because there is at the bottom an inexpressible charm which attracts us.”
—Gustave Flaubert (18211880)
“The definition of good prose is proper words in their proper places; of good verse, the most proper words in their proper places. The propriety is in either case relative. The words in prose ought to express the intended meaning, and no more; if they attract attention to themselves, it is, in general, a fault.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (17721834)
