Engaged Enemy

Famous quotes containing the words engaged and/or enemy:

    When a felon’s not engaged in his employment
    Or maturing his felonious little plans,
    His capacity for innocent enjoyment
    Is just as great as any honest man’s.
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    Powerful, yes, that is the word that I constantly rolled on my tongue; I dreamed of absolute power, the kind that forces to kneel, that forces the enemy to capitulate, finally converting him, and the more the enemy is blind, cruel, sure of himself, buried in his conviction, the more his admission proclaims the royalty of he who has brought on his defeat.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)
