Forces Attacked

Famous quotes containing the words forces and/or attacked:

    Ah! how much a mother learns from her child! The constant protection of a helpless being forces us to so strict an alliance with virtue, that a woman never shows to full advantage except as a mother. Then alone can her character expand in the fulfillment of all life’s duties and the enjoyment of all its pleasures.
    HonorĂ© De Balzac (1799–1850)

    When you suffer an attack of nerves you’re being attacked by the nervous system. What chance has a man got against a system?
    Russell Hoban (b. 1925)
