Effort Required

Famous quotes containing the words effort and/or required:

    Social questions are too sectional, too topical, too temporal to move a man to the mighty effort which is needed to produce great poetry. Prison reform may nerve Charles Reade to produce an effective and businesslike prose melodrama; but it could never produce Hamlet, Faust, or Peer Gynt.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    After I have said what is required by my vanity and my morality, I may find a moment for Truth.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
