Title: Who said this - is this a quote? Post by: rdivilbiss on November 02, 2007, 05:04:28 PM les choses que vous craignez sont imbaffablles pas par leur nature mais par votre approche
Title: Re: Who said this - is this a quote? Post by: GrandSchtroumpf on November 02, 2007, 07:37:03 PM Jewel Kilcher in her book "A Night Without Armor" "The things you fear are undefeatable, not by their nature but by your approach" Thank you google. :) and it's "imbattables", not "imbaffablles". i would have used "invincibles". "battre" is for opponents in sports or games, "vaincre" is for military victories or for fears (vaincre ses peurs). http://www.wordreference.com/enfr/defeat too late to change it for this girl... maybe the things she fears are very good at chess or at ping-pong.

That explains why I couldn't find it. Thank you very much. Title: Re: Who said this - is this a quote?
