Sudden Heart Attack

Famous quotes containing the words sudden, heart and/or attack:

    His rash fierce blaze of riot cannot last,
    For violent fires soon burn out themselves;
    Small showers last long, but sudden storms are short.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    What’s past and what’s to come is strewed with husks
    And formless ruin of oblivion;
    But in this extant moment, faith and truth,
    Strained purely from all hollow bias-drawing,
    Bids thee, with most divine integrity,
    From heart of very heart, great Hector, welcome!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Adolescents swing from euphoric self-confidence and a kind of narcissistic strength in which they feel invulnerable and even immortal, to despair, self-emptiness, self-deprecation. At the same time they seem to see an emerging self that is unique and wonderful, they suffer an intense envy which tears narcissism into shreds, and makes other people’s qualities hit them like an attack of lasers.
    Terri Apter (20th century)
