There is something indecent in words. - Cesare Pavese

He told me that it isn't what you do but how you do it that shows whether you are clever or not.

Nuto, who had never really gone away, still wanted to understand the world and change it, and upset the cycle of the seasons. Or perhaps he didn't, and still believed only in the moon. But I, who didn't believe in the moon, knew that when all was said and done only the seasons matter and they are in your bones and they nurtured you when you were a boy.

All sins have their origin in a sense of inferiority, otherwise called ambition.
