Famous quotes containing the words terror and/or attacks:

    “We see daily that our lives are terrible and little, without continuity, buyable and salable at any moment, mere blips on a screen, that this is the way we live now. Memory marketed as nostalgia; terror reduced to mere suspense, to melodrama.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)

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