Cesare Pavese
Narrating incredible things as though they were real old system narrating realities as though they were incredible the new.

Cesare Pavese
Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends
Cesare Pavese

Cesare Pavese
