Famous quotes containing the words company and/or attacked:
“It has lately been drawn to your correspondent’s attention that, at social gatherings, she is not the human magnet she would be.

It would appear, from the actions of the assembled guests, that she is about as hot company as a night nurse.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
“When you suffer an attack of nerves you’re being attacked by the nervous system. What chance has a man got against a system?”
