Famous quotes containing the word attempt:
“You need not attempt to shake off or to banter off Romance. It is an evil you will never get rid of to the end of your days. It is a part of yourself ... of your soul. Age will only mellow it a little, and give it a holier tone.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
