Offensive Guard

Famous quotes containing the words offensive and/or guard:

    I abide by a rule concerning reviews: I will never ask, neither in writing nor in person, that a word be put in about my book.... One feels cleaner this way. When someone asks that his book be reviewed he risks running up against a vulgarity offensive to authorial sensibilities.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

    Those that I fight I do not hate,
    Those that I guard I do not love.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
