We like to have work to do, so as to have the right to rest. - Cesare Pavese

There is only one pleasure—that of being alive. All the rest is misery.

There is no finer revenge than that which others inflict on your enemy. Moreover, it has the advantage of leaving you the role of a generous man.

Consider this point carefully: nowadays, suicide is just a way of disappearing. It is carried out timidly, quietly, and falls flat. It is no longer an action, only a submission.
