Quote of the Week- Kabo Abe

Today, we quote the late Japanese novelist Kobo Abe (1924-1993) who penned an erotic masterpiece "The Woman in the Dunes" (1962) which was made into an excellent film in 1964. I had a chance to find it in the Hollins University library in Roanoke, Va., some years ago.

Here is the quote from Abe (from the novel):

"Defeat begins with the fear that one has lost."
