We do not free ourselves from something by avoiding it, but only by living though it. - Cesare Pavese

When one has made a mistake, one says. "Another time I shall know what to do," when one should say is: "I already know what I shall really do another time."

People who don't know any better will always be in the dark because the power lies in the hands of men who take good care that ordinary folk don't understand, in the hands, that is, of the government, of the clerical party, of the capitalists.

Things which cost nothing are those which cost the most. Why? Because they cost us the effort of understanding that they are free.
