Ordinary Effort

Famous quotes containing the words ordinary and/or effort:

    This is not a book. This is libel, slander, defamation of character. This is not a book, in the ordinary sense of the word. No, this is a prolonged insult, a gob of spit in the face of Art, a kick in the pants to God, Man, Destiny, Time, Love, Beauty ... what you will. I am going to sing for you, a little off key perhaps, but I will sing.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    The whole effort of a sincere man is to erect his personal impressions into laws.
    Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)
