Famous quotes containing the words attacked and/or piece:

“When you suffer an attack of nerves you’re being attacked by the nervous system. What chance has a man got against a system?”

“It is not a piece of fine feminine Spitalfields silk—but is of the horrible texture of a fabric that should be woven of ships’ cables & hausers. A Polar wind blows through it, & birds of prey hover over it. Warn all gentle fastidious people from so much as peeping into the book—on risk of a lumbago & sciatics.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
