Effort

Famous quotes containing the word effort:

“My love grows wide and shallow in an effort to spread my losses.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“Any effort in philosophy to make the obscure obvious is likely to be unappealing, for the penalty of failure is confusion while the reward of success is banality. An answer, once found, is dull; and the only remaining interest lies in a further effort to render equally dull what is still obscure enough to be intriguing.”
—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)

“Our emotions
Are only “incidents”
In the effort to keep day and night together.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
