Air Defence

Famous quotes containing the words air and/or defence:

“Our air up here is good for the disease—I mean good against the disease,... but it is also good for the disease.”

“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)
