Who said this - is this a quote?

[rdivilbiss]

les choses que vous craignez sont imbaffablles pas par leur nature mais par votre approche

[GrandSchtroumpf]

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).

too late to change it for this girl...
maybe the things she fears are very good at chess or at ping-pong.

and it's "imbattables", not "imbaffablles".  That explains why I couldn't find it.  Thank you very much.

I might again say thank you, and I really appreciate the etymology.  Languages are interesting and unfortunately learning others not so easy.
