More quotes by Cesare Pavese
The cadence of suffering has begun. Every evening at dusk, my heart constricts until night has come.
Cesare Pavese
Verrà la morte e avrà i tuoi occhi. (Death will come and it will have your eyes.)
Cesare Pavese
A love thought: I love you so much that I could wish I had been born your brother, or had brought you into the world myself.
Cesare Pavese
Remember, writing poetry is like making love: one will never know whether one's own pleasure is shared.
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.
Cesare Pavese
The real affliction of old age is remorse.
Cesare Pavese
No one ever lacks a good reason for suicide.
Cesare Pavese

Cesare Pavese
You've got to understand life, understand it when you're young.
Cesare Pavese

Cesare Pavese
The slowness of time, for a man who knows nothing will happen, is brutal.
Cesare Pavese

Cesare Pavese
I was happy enough I knew that during the night the whole city might go up in flames and all its people be killed, but the ravines, houses, and footpaths would wake in the morning calm and unchanged.
Cesare Pavese
All sins have their origin in a sense of inferiority otherwise called ambition.
Cesare Pavese
Childhood is not only the childhood we really had but also the impressions we formed of it in our adolescence and maturity. That is why childhood seems so long. Probably every period of life is multiplied by our reflections upon the next.
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
In the mental disturbance and effort of writing, what sustains you is the certainty that on every page there is something left unsaid.
Cesare Pavese
We do not remember days, we remember moments.
Cesare Pavese
Will power is only the tensile strength of one's own disposition. One cannot increase it by a single ounce.
