Fortified

Famous quotes containing the word fortified:

“No place is so strongly fortified that money could not capture it.”
—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)

“The self ... might be regarded as a sort of citadel of the mind, fortified without and containing selected treasures within, while love is an undivided share in the rest of the universe. In a healthy mind each contributes to the growth of the other: what we love intensely or for a long time we are likely to bring within the citadel, and to assert as part of ourself. On the other hand, it is only on the basis of a substantial self that a person is capable of progressive sympathy or love.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

“He’s fortified against any denial.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
