Left Defence

Famous quotes containing the words left and/or defence:

“There is but one way left to save a classic: to give up revering him and use him for our own salvation.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)

“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)
