Famous quotes containing the words abandoned and/or missile:
“During these fits of absolute unconsciousness I drank, God only knows how often or how much. As a matter of course, my enemies referred the insanity to the drink rather than the drink to the insanity. I had indeed, nearly abandoned all hope of a permanent cure when I found one in the death of my wife.”

“... the truth is the hardest missile one can be pelted with.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
