More quotes by Cesare Pavese
Don't mix wine and women.
Cesare Pavese
When you dream, you are an author, but you do not know how it will end.
Cesare Pavese
The real affliction of old age is remorse.
Cesare Pavese
You cannot insult a man more atrociously than by refusing to believe he is suffering .
Cesare Pavese
Verrà la morte e avrà i tuoi occhi. (Death will come and it will have your eyes.)
Cesare Pavese
Men who have a tempestuous inner life and do not seek to give vent to it by talking or writing are simply men who have no tempestuous inner life. Give company to a lonely man and he will talk more than anyone.
Cesare Pavese
What is to come will emerge only after long suffering, long silence.
Cesare Pavese
No one ever lacks a good reason for suicide.
Cesare Pavese
The world, the future, is now within you as your past, as experience, skill in technique, and the rich, everlasting mystery is found to be childish you that, at the time, you made no effort to possess.
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
At great periods you have always felt, deep within you, the temptation to commit suicide. You gave yourself to it, breached your own defenses. You were a child. The idea of suicide was a protest against life by dying, you would escape this longing for death.
Cesare Pavese
We obtain things when we no longer want them.
Cesare Pavese
I thought of how many places there are in the world that belong in this way to someone, who has it in his blood beyond anyone else's understanding.
Cesare Pavese
It is not the actual enjoyment of pleasure that we desire. What we want is to test the futility of that pleasure, so as to be no longer obsessed by it.
Cesare Pavese
A decision, an action, are infallible omens of what we shall do another time, not for any vague, mystic, astrological reason but because they result from an automatic reaction that will repeat itself.
Cesare Pavese
Whatever people may say, the fastidious formal manner of the upper classes is preferable to the slovenly easygoing behaviour of the common middle class. In moments of crisis, the former know how to act, the latter become uncouth brutes.
Cesare Pavese
Will power is only the tensile strength of one's own disposition. One cannot increase it by a single ounce.
Cesare Pavese
The slowness of time, for a man who knows nothing will happen, is brutal.
Cesare Pavese
The man of action is not the headstrong fool who rushes into danger with no thought for himself, but the man who puts into practice the things he knows.
Cesare Pavese
Idleness makes hours pass slowly and years swiftly. Activity makes the hours short and the years long.
Cesare Pavese
