Certainly, to have a woman who waits at home for you, who will sleep with you, gives a warm feeling like having something you must say it makes you glow, keeps you company, helps you to live.

More quotes by Cesare Pavese
Every luxury must be paid for, and everything is a luxury, starting with being in this world.
Cesare Pavese
Verrà la morte e avrà i tuoi occhi. (Death will come and it will have your eyes.)
Cesare Pavese
There is only one pleasure-that of being alive. All the rest is misery.
Cesare Pavese
We can all do good deeds, but very few of us can think good thoughts.
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 problem is not the harshness of Fate, for anything we want strongly enough we get. The trouble is rather that when we have it we grow sick of it, and then we should never blame Fate, only our own desire.
Cesare Pavese
No woman marries for money they are all clever enough, before marrying a millionaire, to fall in love with him first.
Cesare Pavese
Perfect behaviour is born of complete indifference.
Cesare Pavese
Give me the ready hand rather than the ready tongue.
Cesare Pavese
What we desire is not to possess a woman, but to be the only one to possess her.
Cesare Pavese
Great lovers will always be unhappy, because, for them, love is of supreme importance. Consequently they demand of their beloved the same intensity of thought as they have for her, otherwise they feel betrayed.
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
We must never say, even in fun, that we are disheartened, because someone might take us at our word.
Cesare Pavese
Nowadays, suicide is just a way of disappearing. It is carried out timidly, quietly, and falls flat. It is no longer an action, only a submission.
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
You don't remember days, you remember moments.
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 richness of life lies in memories we have forgotten.
Cesare Pavese
Literature is a defense against the attacks of life. It says to life: You can't deceive me. I know your habits, foresee and enjoy watching all your reactions, and steal your secret by involving you in cunning obstructions that halt your normal flow.
