Famous quotes containing the word attacks:

    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)

    Neither the wrath of Heaven nor the attacks of enemies
    are as fatal as Pleasure alone when she infects the mind.
    Silius Italicus (26–101)
