Attacks

Famous quotes containing the word attacks:

    Under peaceful conditions, the warlike man attacks himself.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    There exists, at the bottom of all abasement and misfortune, a last extreme which rebels and joins battle with the forces of law and respectability in a desperate struggle, waged partly by cunning and partly by violence, at once sick and ferocious, in which it attacks the prevailing social order with the pin-pricks of vice and the hammer-blows of crime.
    Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    Stupidity is something unshakable; nothing attacks it without breaking itself against it; it is of the nature of granite, hard and resistant.
    Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
