More quotes by Cesare Pavese
"You need a village, if only for the pleasure of leaving it. A village means that you are not alone, knowing that in the people, the trees, the earth, there is something that belongs to you, waiting for you when you are not there."
"Life is pain and the enjoyment of love is an anesthetic."
"The only joy in the world is to begin."
"Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things: air, sleep, dreams, sea, the sky - all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it."
"Remember, writing poetry is like making love: one will never know whether one's own pleasure is shared."
