Additional quotes by Italo Svevo

When a man dies, he has too many other worries to allow any thinking about death.

La vita non è né brutta né bella, ma è originale!

Zeno is one of the comic masterpieces of the century; as Svevo had previously used Flaubert more intelligently than any Italian before him, here he uses Freud in a way that no Italian has done since.
