Attack Strength

Famous quotes containing the words attack and/or strength:

“Adolescents swing from euphoric self-confidence and a kind of narcissistic strength in which they feel invulnerable and even immortal, to despair, self-emptiness, self-deprecation. At the same time they seem to see an emerging self that is unique and wonderful, they suffer an intense envy which tears narcissism into shreds, and makes other people’s qualities hit them like an attack of lasers.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)

“Consider first the nature of the business in hand; then examine thy own nature, whether thou hast strength to undertake it.”
