Alexandre Lacazette
I kept thinking about how ironic it is how people who live in places where there is diversity tend to love it – and the people that don’t live in particularly diverse places tend to be the ones attacking it. In a way, that’s similar to music, which is essentially the art of bringing things together.
Kamasi Washington

You know, people have actually changed the way they think about nuclear weapons now, post-Cold War, post-9/11. The threat of nuclear weapons is not so much Russia attacking the United States, China. It’s not a state-to-state – it’s obviously terrorism; it’s proliferation.
Lawrence Bender
As a defence, we have to strive for that clean sheet while also giving the attacking players the licence to go and create.

Paul Scholes
In Jiu-Jitsu, every instinct you have wants to do every

In Jiu-Jitsu, every instinct you have wants to do everything but relax or breathe when someone’s attacking you, and learning that takes a long time. I think that’s why a lot of people stop at blue belt because it’s really hard to do. It’s hard to take that next step. It took me a long time.

You can get suckered into believing you have to always

Marcus Rashford
Time trialing is one of those things that you’ve got to train for… Being a new rider, it’s still really hard for me to know what’s the most efficient gear for me to be in. The road race is probably more exciting, in my opinion, because it’s a lot faster pace, and people are constantly attacking.
Oksana Masters
I always like the players to be within 10 to 15 metres of each other. When the attacking players try what I am asking them to do, and it breaks down, there are players close enough to then go and win the ball back and counter press the game.
Brendan Rodgers
I love attacking, but I hate defending and it’s something I need to add to my game.
Alex Iwobi
We can find any number of ways to criminalise begging, but when we do so, aren’t we attacking the problem from entirely the wrong angle?

I just say I’d like to be an attacking midfielder.

Michael Bloomberg
The Tottenham way is attacking football – that’s what the fans expect.

Prithvi Shaw
GamerGate is really a sexist temper tantrum. That’s kind of a silly, funny way of putting it, but it’s kind of what it feels like, right? They’re going after and targeting women who are trying to make changes in the industry. They’re attacking anyone who supports women.
Anita Sarkeesian
I like to study everything: the way to be dangerous when you are attacking; what the players should do when you don’t have the ball; where they should be. The tactics you tell the players to follow come from all this study.
Antonio Conte
I’ve always loved the genre of virus movies or Armageddon movies – anything that involves being trapped with the cute boy in detention when the zombies are attacking.

Instead of focusing on attacking unions and the labor movement, we need to find ways to strengthen and empower workers so we can put more money in the pockets of middle class families.
Mike Quigley
For me, making my intent clear to the batsman before he stamps his authority is important. Playing with his mind is a way of attacking rather than setting attacking fields.
Harbhajan Singh
For podcasters, people are just being themselves in a public fashion. So when someone is attacking a podcast, they’re really attacking the person, because the person is the podcast. So I think that’s why podcasters take it to heart. It’s a very personal form of media, probably the most personal form of media.
Chris Hardwick
Instead of channeling Trump, and attacking the courts in ways that are as bad as or worse than the president’s, public officials who ought to know better should behave better.

I’m an attacking midfielder.
Christian Pulisic
When you play in the Premier League, say you’re playing against a lower-end team, they set up to defend all the time, they set up to block you off.

Gareth Bale
Attacking is better than defending.
Pham Nhat Vuong
When you are an athlete, it’s difficult to take time off and say you want to come back without everyone judging you and attacking you.

Ivica Zubac
My conclusion about Mr. Trump’s unsuitability for office is based on his disregard for the precept of treating others with respect, an idea that should transcend politics. Instead, he opts to mock the vulnerable and inflame prejudices by attacking ethnic and religious minorities.
Susan Collins
I love to see goals and attacking play; I want us to be entertaining. But it’s no good if you’re shipping goals.

Sergio Busquets
In the world there is nothing more submissive and weak

In the world there is nothing more submissive and weak than water. Yet for attacking that which is hard and strong nothing can surpass it.

Rahm Emanuel seems to think he knows Israel very well, and that the way to treat that country and its democratically-elected government is the way he treats all opponents in politics: by attacking and attacking.
Elliott Abrams
We are now seeing a movement that wishes to place race back at the forefront of our political thinking and, frighteningly, that viewpoint seems to be shared by those on the far left and the far right. We cannot remain cohesive as a nation if we are attacking each other on the basis.

High value information came from interrogations in which those methods were used and provided a deeper understanding of the al Qa’ida organization that was attacking this country.

I think defending is more of, like, a science, and it’s fun to learn that. And then I see attacking as an art.
Tobin Heath
Didier talks to all of us. Not just with me, but with all the attacking players. He has scored so many goals for Chelsea. But now he pushes the younger players. He is fantastic. A fantastic player, and a fantastic person.
Oscar
United’s history was built on attacking football, which does not always mean that the team kept clean sheets or did not concede chances.
Paul Scholes
When I was elected governor of my state, I had a legislature 87 percent Democrat. It was not lost on me that to get anything done, I couldn’t be attacking them. I had to find ways to reach out to them.
Mitt Romney
And by the way I don’t object if people want to attack me, that’s their right. All I’m suggesting that it’s not going to be very effective and that people are going to get sick of it very fast. And the guys who attacked each other in the debates up to now, every single one of them have lost ground by attacking.
Newt Gingrich
I had been so focused on what to discard, on attacking the unwanted obstacles around me, that I had forgotten to cherish the things that I loved, the things I wanted to keep.

Juan Mata
In Australia you can be a little bit more attacking, in places on the subcontinent you’ve got to find ways to get batsmen out, you might have to bore them out.

For heaven’s sake, when you see the enemy attacking, you pick up the pitchfork, and you enlist everybody you see. You don’t stand around arguing about who’s responsible, or who’s going to pay.
Sylvia Earle
I like to play attacking, like a winger, or an attacking midfielder, so it depends on the coach, where he’s looking at me for which position.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan
Not too many people present a good ground game from the bottom. They survive a little bit, and it’s kind of boring. But not too many people are attacking from the bottom, hurting with elbows. They don’t bring that kind of game because it takes a long time to develop.
Brian Ortega
I think it is important to ask ourselves as citizens, not as Democrats attacking the administration, but as citizens, whether a world power can really provide global leadership on the basis of fear and anxiety?
Zbigniew Brzezinski
I don’t care who is attacking my son. I still support him; I still love him.
Magic Johnson
Part of being a Manchester United player under Sir Alex Ferguson, perhaps the most important part of being one of United’s attacking players was that when you were in possession, you had to take risks in order to create goal-scoring chances. It was not an option; it was an obligation.
Paul Scholes
Italy do not only defend; they can attack, too. They have attacking qualities, and they create chances.
Julen Lopetegui
I think Sadio Mane is lucky the way Liverpool play. His job is pretty much to stay on one half of the field. Yes, he does come back and help out defensively every now and again, but generally he’s told to stay in the attacking half of the field and go at defenders.
Steve Nicol
I don’t want to disrespect anyone, but it’s clear that any team which has the chance to play with Messi, Suarez, and Neymar has devastating attacking power, which any coach would love at his disposal.

As an actor, my main focus is finding good writing and

As an actor, my main focus is finding good writing and attacking a good role.

Raymond Kethledge
Instead of attacking and dividing our people, I’ll be a governor laser-focused on creating opportunity for all Kentuckians. I’ll expand growth industries like agritech and advanced manufacturing.
Andy Beshear
Scientists are doing an awful lot of damage to the world in the name of helping it. I don’t mind attacking my own fraternity because I am ashamed of it.
Kary Mullis
Attacking school segregation requires all hands on deck. We in the charter sector must move beyond our traditional comfort zone, serving disadvantaged students, and meet the demands of parents who have other high quality options.
Eva Moskowitz
Fonseca allows me to play both offensively and defensively, and my main task is to change the direction of attacking moves.
Fred

Sergio Aguero
It’s always good for us to score as attacking players and to help the team get the three points.
Jesse Lingard
From Obama to Michael Bloomberg, Dianne Feinstein, Michael Moore, Rosie O’Donnell and the rest of the media-political elite, the whole time they’re attacking your right to own a gun, they’re enjoying armed security for themselves.
Wayne LaPierre
We, we – as I say, we go in and shake up other industries and I think, you know, we do it differently and I think that industries are not quite the same as a result of Virgin attacking the market.
Richard Branson
I look for players who do not just score goals but provide an attacking point, linking with other players and able to see the third man as well. Van Persie is one of the best strikers around at that.
Louis van Gaal
The late Christopher Hitchens had the professional contrarian’s fixation on attacking sacred cows, and rather soon after his cancer diagnosis, he became one himself.
Alex Pareene
The important thing to understand, from my point of view, is if the opponents break our lines and they are attacking our box, something has gone wrong, and it is me who has to fix it. But fouls in football are normal. You have to do it sometimes.
Fernandinho
Joe Biden and the radical, anti-gun Democrats want to unleash the ATF on law-abiding gun owners across America, attacking our God-given Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
Marjorie Taylor Greene
Typically, you’ll see that zones work better in November than in February. As the season goes on, teams get better and better at attacking zones, and it becomes harder to become an effective zone defense as the season progresses. But early on, it can be can good at times.
Ben Howland
It’s unbelievable, there’s a book out attacking Gore, when he’s the most unfortunate loser in political history.
Vincent Bugliosi
When we are thinking in an attacking moment, I want the goalkeeper thinking, for that, he is the first. The same when we are thinking defensively – I want our strikers to be thinking, ‘We need to protect the goalkeepers.’ I want those two moments to feel the same for all players.
Unai Emery
Russia has had very aggressive military exercises. They’ve practiced mock nuclear attacks on Warsaw. Russian bombers practiced attacking strategic military targets in Sweden. The military aggression gets everybody nervous.
Toomas Hendrik Ilves
You won’t see Christians violently attacking people for criticising their religion like you do with Islam, things like the Charlie Hebdo attack.
Lauren Southern
Again and again since 9/11, terror attacks in the West have been carried out by second-generation Muslims who are citizens of the very country they are attacking.
Peter Bergen
When someone mentions my name because they’re attacking someone that I’m close with, it’s my problem now.
Rick Ross
I like to play attacking football, but I think the big difference is that we expect a lot more from our strikers, to do more pressing and to keep compact. We like to play a high line defensively and press the ball.
Ronald Koeman
I was a No. 9 for so long and that’s what I knew. And I think, me as an attacking midfielder, or any kind of midfielder, I should be in and around the box and have that mindset that I’m going to score and help my team as much as possible.
Lindsey Horan
I’ve played a lot of different positions, and when I’ve played in my favourite position as an attacking midfielder, I played well, I was important and created a lot of occasions.

Kyle Walker

Al Franken
I’m attacking the pomposity that says this is more valuable than that. I’m sick of that.

Imran Tahir
Our country will, I believe, sooner forgive an officer for attacking an enemy than for letting it alone.
Horatio Nelson
Wherever I am on the field, I’m just trying to be an attacking presence and constantly be on their back four and try to make a difference in that way. So it doesn’t matter where I play for my club.
Christian Pulisic
Osama bin Laden fervently hoped that attacking the Unit

Osama bin Laden fervently hoped that attacking the United States would create pressure on American leaders to reduce their support for Middle Eastern regimes. Bin Laden believed that without that American support, the Arab regimes would collapse and would be replaced by Taliban-style rulers.
Peter Bergen
It must be born in mind that one does not see directly – as is the case in the exploration of the surface of the brain – where the electrodes are attacking.

Dennis Bergkamp
I’m not going to back down one bit in attacking Trump.
Seth Moulton
Attacking me and Fox News is nothing new – it’s a cottage industry.
Roger Ailes
Michael, to me, he was an assassin. He was one of those guys that prepared himself extremely well and was relentless in his attacking. And there are a few guys who have that mentality. I think Kobe Bryant has that type of mentality, and LeBron has that type of mentality.
David Robinson
There is nothing worse than a politician that gets defensive and starts attacking the media – and it always looks bad for the politician, because you sign up for this. You live by the sword, you die by the sword.
Gavin Newsom
Zidane has tried to get me to improve. Anticipating, reading the play, putting myself in the defensive balance, I know how to do all this. So he expects the same finesse in an attacking sense.
Raphael Varane
Bullying is the result of an unequal power dynamic – the strong attacking the weak.
Maria Konnikova
I think I can improve in my attacking role, I can do more.
N’Golo Kante
Now and again, you may be picking a pass or two in behind, making something happen, but when we’re attacking – especially at Liverpool – I’m focusing on protection, being disciplined, being careful, worrying about counter-attacks, things like that.
Jordan Henderson
I play a lot quicker, in quite an attacking style, play a few little crazy shots sometimes that other players wouldn’t take.
Judd Trump
I like to play attacking shots, even if it is in the first over of the game. If I get out playing attacking shots, then so be it.
Prithvi Shaw
When the King is checked, or any valuable Piece in danger from the attack of an enemy, you are said to interpose a man when you play it between the attacked and attacking Piece.
Howard Staunton
Normally when you look at the Ballon d’Or winners, they’re either attacking midfield players or centre-forwards. They are goalscorers and eye-catching players.
John Barnes
The most dangerous fundamentalists aren’t just waging war in Iraq; they’re attacking evolution, blocking medical research and ignoring the environment.

Louis van Gaal
Nato has always acted according to a simple principle: it is not worth attacking somebody who is strong.
Andrzej Duda
Administrator McCarthy and the EPA will soon find out that Washington bureaucrats are becoming far too aggressive in attacking our way of life. Administrator McCarthy should be apologizing to Missourians. EPA aggression has reached an all-time high, and now it must be stopped.
Sam Graves
If you want to win you have to attack, so I’m not gonna stop attacking.
Remco Evenepoel
Politically it’s easy to salve one’s conscience, no matter that salving it rarely makes the problem go away. You join the Labour Party, write articles attacking the privileged, give the money you spend on opera tickets to homeless charities, and vow never to go to anything that can be considered elitist again.
Howard Jacobson
I took a lot of heat from Republicans when I stepped out of John McCain’s campaign after the 2008 primaries. I still supported McCain, and voted for him, but I just didn’t want to be the tip of the spear attacking Obama.
Mark McKinnon
Of course no one thought of anything except of attacking the enemy. It lies in the instinct of every German to rush at the enemy wherever he meets him, particularly if he meets hostile cavalry.
Manfred von Richthofen
A lot of people hear me attacking their certainty. I don’t have any interest in doing that. I’m interested in penetrating the meaning of certainty.
John Shelby Spong
The world is attacking Christians because they hate the name of Christ. And President Trump has been defending Christians.
Franklin Graham
Mr. Trump understands that attacking the media is the reddest of meat for his base, which has been conditioned to reject reporting from news sites outside of the conservative media ecosystem.
Charlie Sykes
Mauricio Pochettino – he was my captain at PSG and I always knew he would become a manager. He has taken a lot of influence from Marcelo Bielsa, who was his coach with Argentina; they used to talk about things a lot, and now you can see that his teams are really aggressive, both when attacking and defending.
Mikel Arteta
I am a professional footballer, and it's a game where t

I am a professional footballer, and it’s a game where the coach decides where you can be most beneficial for the team. As long as I am attacking, I am happy! I know what Jose Mourinho decides will be best for me personally and for the team.
Anthony Martial
It is impossible to preserve my friendship with people who are allegedly leaders when they are attacking their own people, shooting at them, using tanks and other forms of heavy weaponry.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan
The Bush administration also was not straightforward about the intelligence it had, releasing tenuous information that fit its goal of attacking Iraq. I feel deceived.
Ken Lucas
I’ve played all over, to be honest. Centre-half, defensive midfield, attacking midfield.
Jack Rodwell
Trump has never sacrificed anything for this country, and in fact, he has attacked people who have. It just makes me sick to my stomach when I see him attacking the mother of a fallen hero or John McCain. It just makes me sick to my stomach that this guy thinks he’s prepared to be commander-in-chief.
Evan McMullin
No one is attacking Islam, as such. We accept that there is a large French-born Islamic population in France who have a right to be here. The FN is not a racist or Islamophobic party.
Marion Marechal-Le Pen
It’s true that when I started out, I was more a fan of attacking players and one in particular: the Brazilian Ronaldo, Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lima. Another of my idols was Claudio Caniggia, an Argentinian forward with long hair, who I liked a lot. It’s because of him that I started to grow my hair long!
Sergio Ramos
Assad’s regime helped ISIS grow by attacking other opposition forces and rarely targeting ISIS.
Richard Engel
Balance is the secret for every team. There cannot be a defensive formation and an attacking formation: such a concept is a limitation.
Maurizio Sarri
I should play more quickly, more attacking.
Chen Long
Besides, wouldn’t it be wonderful if no one ever had to worry about the random cruelty of fatal illness or the woes of old age attacking them or their loved ones?
Joan D. Vinge
I consider myself as this kind of attacking midfielder, trying to find the gaps between the opposition midfielders and defenders and produce what the team needs between the lines.
Juan Mata
I’m an attacking player, and I can play wide.
Gerard Deulofeu
Destroy and damage infrastructure, public buildings and government buildings. Do not leave them any place from which they can operate to damage Israel. We must be sure that Hamas will be spending many years in rebuilding Gaza and not in attacking Israel.
Eli Yishai
Wayne Rooney and Michael Owen form one of the best attacking duos in football, both are very quick and deadly.
Cafu
Personally, I always try to focus on the little things in my game. As a defender and attacking outside back, I continuously work on completing passes, not being too predictable going forward into the attack, good services into the box, good positioning and footwork.
Ali Krieger
Attacking the indecency of life in much of the Southern Hemisphere is no longer a matter of grace, of charity, of patronizing kindness. It is a matter of intense self-interest.
Anthony Lewis
Everyone thinks I’m looking for attacking football all the time. But the foundation is how you defend – keep a clean sheet, and you have a decent chance to win a game of football.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
If we start attacking advertisers because of what somebody said – it’s the wrong thing to do.
Ed Schultz
I feel like I am definitely an attacking player. I don’t really know where specifically that is, whether it’s centrally or out wide. I do feel like I just naturally have a mindset to go to goal or create goals or things like that.
Crystal Dunn
I think if people who are attacking me or against me, if they would just watch one of my films, they would – they may not agree with me politically on all the things I’m saying. But they will know at the end of the film that I love this country and that I have a heart. And they’ll have a good laugh throughout the film.
Michael Moore
When somebody wants to write an article attacking a scoring system or the influence of wine writers, who’s right in the cross hairs? It’s not Steve Tanzer, it’s not Marvin Shanken, it’s me. These other people, it’s not like they don’t have some influence, and I’m more than happy to share it.
Robert M. Parker, Jr.
Before I signed for Liverpool, I was playing for Newcastle as a No. 10 – basically, I was always attacking. I didn’t have to do much defensive work; I didn’t play as the No. 6 or the No. 8.
Georginio Wijnaldum
To think about attacking is also to think about positioning.
Michael Laudrup
It is bizarre to see the NFL attacking an America that has treated it so well over the years. Taxpayers pay over 70 percent of the cost of stadiums. Our citizens pay more and more for tickets, and valuations of professional sports franchises have skyrocketed. Player compensation keeps growing.
Matt Gaetz
Attacking another American’s qualifications solely based on his ethnic background is bigotry. Plain and simple.
Ana Navarro
When I ran for the Senate the first time, I ran against the wealthiest guy in the state of Vermont. He spent a lot on advertising – very ugly stuff. He kept attacking me as a liberal. He didn’t use the word ‘socialist’ at all because everybody in the state knows that I am that.
Bernie Sanders
When you’re trying to accomplish lofty goals, and when you’re attacking something of great magnitude, you have to have help.
Zach Johnson
As England manager I always felt we needed an extra man in midfield to retain the ball, but that was more as an attacking ploy to help create opportunities. It came from my experience playing international football in a 4-4-2 and spending half my time chasing the ball.
Glenn Hoddle
