Famous quotes containing the words air and/or defence:

    ““With your air indifferent and imperious
    At a stroke our mad poetics to confute—”
    And—”Are we then so serious?””
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “To choose a hardship for ourselves is our only defence against that hardship. This is what is meant by accepting suffering.... Those who, by their very nature, can suffer completely, utterly, have an advantage. That is how we can disarm the power of suffering, make it our own creation, our own choice; submit to it. A justification for suicide.”
    —Cesare Pavese (1908–1950)
