Cesare Pavese citáty a výroky

„Človek prestane byť dieťaťom vtedy, keď si uvedomí, že vyrozprávaním svojich starostí nedosiahne ich zlepšenie.“

„Modlitba je výjav citu - ako priateľovi.“

Cesare Pavese citát: „Toto je moja najhoršia skúsenosť: bolesť nespraví z väčšiny ľudí velikánov, ale človiečikov.“

„Toto je moja najhoršia skúsenosť: bolesť nespraví z väčšiny ľudí velikánov, ale človiečikov.“

„Vec, ktorej sa človek potajomky najviac bál, sa prihodí vždy.“

„Ženy sa nevydávajú pre peniaze. Sú dosť múdre na to, aby sa najprv zamilovali do milionára a až potom sa za neho vydali.“

„Milostnú stratégiu ovláda len ten, kto nie je zamilovaný.“

Varianta: Ľúbostný stratégiu ovláda len ten, kto nie je zaľúbený.

„Predovšetkým sa nesmie zabudnúť, že robiť poéziu je rovnaké ako milovať. Nikdy sa nedozvieme, či je naša radosť zdieľaná. Odmena za to, že sme toľko trpeli, je potom v tom, že zomrieme ako psy.“

„Žena, ktorá nie je hlúpa, stretne skôr alebo neskôr ľudskú trosku a pokúsi sa ju zachrániť. Niekedy sa jej to podarí. Ale žena, ktorá nie je múdra, stretne skôr alebo neskôr zdravého muža a urobí z neho trosku. Podarí sa jej to vždy.“

„Jediná radosť na svete je začať.“

„Od niekoho, kto sa s vami nechce podeliť o váš osud, by ste nemali prijať ani cigaretu.“

“The world, the future, is now within you as your past, as experience, skill in technique, and the rich, everlasting mystery is found to be childish you that, at the time, you made no effort to possess.”

“No matter how much a young man likes to think for himself, he is always trying to model himself on some abstract pattern largely derived from the example of the world around him. And a man, no matter how conservative, shows his own worth by his personal deviation from that pattern.”

“For a long time we had talked of the hill as we might have talked of the sea or the woods. I used to go back there in the evening from the city when it grew dusk, and for me it was not just another place but a point of view, a way of life. For instance, I saw no difference between those hills and these ancient ones where I played as a child and where I live now: the same broken, straggling country, cultivated and wild, the same roads, farmhouses, and ravines. I used to climb up there in the evening as if I too were fleeing the nightly shock of the air-raid alarms.”

“In fact a man in love or one consumed with hatred creates symbols for himself, as a superstitious man does, from a passion of conferring uniqueness on things or persons. A man who knows nothing of symbols is one of Dante's sluggards. This is why art mirrors itself in primitive rites or strong passions, seeking for symbols, revolving round the primitive taste for savagery, for what is irrational”

“What use is this valley to a family that comes from across the sea and knows nothing about the moon and the bonfires? You must have grown up there and have in in your bones, like wine and polenta, and then you know it without needing to speak about it and everything you have carried about inside you for so many years without knowing awakens now at the rattle of the chain on a cart, at the swish of an ox' tail, at the taste of a bowl of minestra, at the sound of a voice heard in the square at night.”

“For some time my friend Doro and I had agreed that I would be his guest. I was very fond of Doro, and when he married and went to Genoa to live, I was half sick over it. When I wrote to refuse his invitation to the wedding, I got a dry and rather haughty note replying that if his money wasn't good for establishing himself in a city that pleased his wife, he didn't know what it was good for. Then, one fine day as I was passing through Genoa I stopped at his house and we made peace. I liked his wife very much, a tomboy type who graciously asked me to call her Clelia and left us alone as much as she should, and when she showed up again in the evening to go out with us, she had become a charming woman whose hand I would have kissed had I been anyone else but myself.”

“The thing most feared in secret always happens.
I write: oh Thou, have mercy. And then?
All it takes is a little courage.
The more the pain grows clear and definite, the more the instinct for life asserts itself and the thought of suicide recedes.
It seemed easy when I thought of it. Weak women have done it. It takes humility, not pride.
All this is sickening.
Not words. An act. I won't write any more.”
