Cesare Pavese

Cesare Pavese
Image
The real affliction of old age is remorse.
Cesare Pavese
Image
You wait for nothing if not for the word that will burst from the deep like a fruit among branches.
Cesare Pavese
Image
If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears.
Cesare Pavese
Image

Cesare Pavese
Image
Here's the difficulty about suicide: it is an act of ambition that can be committed only when one has passed beyond ambition.
Cesare Pavese
Image
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
Image
