Engaged Enemy

Famous quotes containing the words engaged and/or enemy:

“Hatred, for the man who is not engaged in it, is a little like the odor of garlic for one who hasn’t eaten any.”
—Jean Rostand (1894–1977)

“He began therefore to invest the fortress of my heart by a circumvallation of distant bows and respectful looks; he then entrenched his forces in the deep caution of never uttering an unguarded word or syllable. His designs being yet covered, he played off from several quarters a large battery of compliments. But here he found a repulse from the enemy by an absolute rejection of such fulsome praise, and this forced him back again close into his former trenches.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
