Famous quotes containing the words subsequent, notable and/or attempts:

    “And he smiled a kind of sickly smile, and curled up on the floor, And the subsequent proceedings interested him no more.”
    —Francis Bret Harte (1836–1902)

    “In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail. From the Everglades the remnants of this race emerged, soon after the trail was built, to set up their palm-thatched villages along the road and to hoist tribal flags as a lure to passing motorists.”
    —For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “Man cannot be free if he does not know that he is subject to necessity, because his freedom is always won in his never wholly successful attempts to liberate himself from necessity.”
    —Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
