Quotes by Cesare Pavese
- A man succeeds in completing a work only when his qualities transcend that work.
- Idleness makes hours pass slowly and years swiftly. Activity makes the hours short and the years long.
- The man of action is not the headstrong fool who rushes into danger with no thought for himself, but the man who puts into practice the things he knows.
- The only joy in the world is to begin.
