Famous quotes containing the words extra, point and/or attempts:
“But that beginning was wiped out in fear
The day I swung suspended with the grapes,
And was come after like Eurydice
And brought down safely from the upper regions;
And the life I live now’s an extra life
I can waste as I please on whom I please.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“There is a point at which methods devour themselves.”
—Frantz Fanon (1925–1961)
