Rushing Attempts

Famous quotes containing the words rushing and/or attempts:

“Roll forth, my song, like the rushing river,
That sweeps along to the mighty sea;”
—James Clarence Mangan (1803–1849)

“For a novel addressed by a man to men and women of full age; which attempts to deal unaffectedly with the fret and fever, derision and disaster, that may press in the wake of the strongest passion known to humanity; to tell, without a mincing of words, of a deadly war waged between flesh and spirit; and to point the tragedy of unfulfilled aims, I am not aware that there is anything in the handling to which exception can be taken.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
