Zone Defence

Famous quotes containing the words zone and/or defence:

“The human race is a zone of living things that should be defined by tracing its confines.”
—Italo Calvino (1923–1985)

“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)
