Effort

Famous quotes containing the word effort:

    I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term—meaning that the creation of a simple photograph would entail as much time and effort as the production of a good watercolor or etching—there would be a vast improvement in total output. The sheer ease with which we can produce a superficial image often leads to creative disaster.
    Ansel Adams (1902–1984)

    For strange effects and extraordinary combinations we must go to life itself, which is always far more daring than any effort of the imagination.
    Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)

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