But here's the worst part: the trick to life lies in hiding from those we hold most dear how much they mean to is; if not, we'd lose them.

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

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 161 quotes

At great periods you have always felt, deep within you, the temptation to commit suicide. You gave yourself to it, breached your own defenses. You were a child. The idea of suicide was a protest against life; by dying, you would escape this longing for death.

Cesare Pavese 161 quotes

To choose a hardship for ourse...

To choose a hardship for ourselves is our only defense against that hardship. This is what is meant by accepting suffering. Those who, by their very nature, can suffer completely, utterly, have an advantage. That is how we can disarm the power of suffering, make it our own creation, our own choice; submit to it. A justification for suicide.

Cesare Pavese 161 quotes

Suffering is by no means a pri...

Suffering is by no means a privilege, a sign of nobility, a reminder of God. Suffering is a fierce, bestial thing, commonplace, uncalled for, natural as air. It is intangible; no one can grasp it or fight against it; it dwells in time - is the same thing as time; if it comes in fits and starts, that is only so as to leave the sufferer more defenseless during the moments that follow, those long moments when one relives the last bout of torture and waits for the next.

We do not remember days, we remember moments.

Life is pain and the enjoyment of love is an anesthetic.

No one ever lacks a good reason for suicide.

The richness of life lies in memories we have forgotten.

All sins have their origin in a sense of inferiority otherwise called ambition.

The only joy in the world is to begin.

Will power is only the tensile strength of one's own disposition. One cannot increase it by a single ounce.

Cesare Pavese 161 quotes

One does not kill oneself for love of a woman, but because love - any love - reveals us in our nakedness, our misery, our vulnerability, our nothingness.

Cesare Pavese 161 quotes

A man is never completely alone in this world. At the worst, he has the company of a boy, a youth, and by and by a grown man - the one he used to be.
