Cesare Pavese quotes

Italian poet, critic and novelist, 1908-1950


The art of living is the art of knowing how to believe lies.

 

The closing years of life are like the end of a masquerade party, when the masks are dropped.

 

Perfect behavior is born of complete indifference.

 

No one ever kills himself for the love of a woman, but because love - any love - reveals us in our nakedness, our misery, our vulnerability, our nothingness.

 

Living is like working out a long addition sum, and if you make a mistake in the first two totals you will never find the right answer. It means involving oneself in a complicated chain of circumstances.

 

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

 

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

 

No one ever lacks a good reason for suicide.

 

No woman marries for money; they are all clever enough, before marrying a millionaire, to fall in love with him first.
