Offensive Guard

Famous quotes containing the words offensive and/or guard:

    There is something about the literary life that repels me, all this desperate building of castles on cobwebs, the long-drawn acrimonious struggle to make something important which we all know will be gone forever in a few years, the miasma of failure which is to me almost as offensive as the cheap gaudiness of popular success.
    Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    Those that I fight I do not hate,
    Those that I guard I do not love.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
