Famous Cesare Pavese Quotes

“In anything, it is a mistake to think one can perform an action or behave certain way once and no more. (The mistake of those who say: "Let's slave away and save every penny until we are thirty, then we'll enjoy ourselves." At thirty they have a bent for avarice and hard work, and will never enjoy themselves any more..) What one does, one will do again, indeed has probably already done it in the distant past. The agonising thing about life is that it is our own decisions that throw us into this rut, under the wheels that crush us. (The truth is even before making those decisions, we were going in that direction:) A decision, an action, are infallible omens that we shall do another time, not for any vague, mystic, astrological reason but because they result from an automatic reaction that will repeat itself.”
