Successfully Attacked

Famous quotes containing the words successfully and/or attacked:

“The idealist’s programme of political or economic reform may be impracticable, absurd, demonstrably ridiculous; but it can never be successfully opposed merely by pointing out that this is the case. A negative opposition cannot be wholly effectual: there must be a competing idealism; something must be offered that is not only less objectionable but more desirable.”
—Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

“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)
