Famous quotes containing the words terrorist and/or attacks:

    “The terrorist and the policeman both come from the same basket. Revolution, legality—counter-moves in the same game; forms of idleness at bottom identical.”
    —Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)

    “I must ... warn my readers that my attacks are directed against themselves, not against my stage figures.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
