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

Cesare Pavese
No one ever lacks a good reason for suicide.
Cesare Pavese
Life without smoking is like the smoke without the roast.
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
The real affliction of old age is remorse.
Cesare Pavese
The problems that agitate one generation are exstinguished for the next, not because they have been solved but because the general lack of interest sweeps them away.
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
Verrà la morte e avrà i tuoi occhi. (Death will come and it will have your eyes.)
