Additional quotes by Cesare Pavese

All our "most sacred affections" are merely prosaic habit.

It is not the actual enjoyment of pleasure that we desire. What we want is to test the futility of that pleasure, so as to be no longer obsessed by it.

The problems that agitate one generation are exstinguished for the next, not because they have been solved but because the general lack of interest sweeps them away.

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