Quote by Cesare Pavese (1908-1950)

• We are all capable of evil thoughts, but only very rarely of evil deeds: we can all do good deeds, but very few of us can think good thoughts.

• The only joy in the world is to begin.

• Hate is always a clash between our spirit and someone else's body.

• It is not that the child lives in a world of imagination, but that the child within us survives and starts into life only at rare moments of recollection, which makes us believe, and it is not true, that, as children, we were imaginative?

• Every luxury must be paid for, and everything is a luxury, starting with being in the world.
