ABRUPT, adj. - The Devil's Dictionary - Ambrose Bierce

This quote was added by malevolarky
Sudden, without ceremony, like the arrival of a cannon-shot and the departure of the soldier whose interests are most affected by it. Dr. Samuel Johnson beautifully said, of another author's ideas, that they were "concatenated without abruption."
