Cesare Pavese
I am the captain of my destiny, I do not abandon the ship in hard times, But, I do have sense enough not to go down with the ship.
Cesare Pavese

Cesare Pavese
A dream is a creation of the intelligence, the creator being present but not knowing how it will end.
Cesare Pavese
What is to come will emerge only after long suffering, long silence.
Cesare Pavese

Cesare Pavese
When a man mourns for someone who has played him false, it is not for love of her, but for his own humiliation at not having deserved her trust.
Cesare Pavese
