Extra Point Attempts

Famous quotes containing the words extra, point and/or attempts:

“Myths and legends die hard in America. We love them for the extra dimension they provide, the illusion of near-infinite possibility to erase the narrow confines of most men’s reality. Weird heroes and mould-breaking champions exist as living proof to those who need it that the tyranny of “the rat race” is not yet final.”
—Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)

“It is not he who gains the exact point in dispute who scores most in controversy—but he who has shown the better temper.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

“Anyone who attempts to relate his life loses himself in the immediate. One can only speak of another.”
