Cesare Pavese - The only joy in the world is to begin....
The only joy in the world is to begin. It is good to be alive because living is beginning, always, every moment. When this sensation is lacking-as when one is in prison, or ill, or stupid, or when living has become a habit-one might as well be dead. (Cesare Pavese)

The only joy in the world is to begin. It is good to be alive because living is beginning, always, every moment. When this sensation is lacking-as when one is in prison, or ill, or stupid, or when living has become a habit-one might as well be dead.

I suppose I have become a sort of living monument in Portugal. But I come from a family with roots all over the world, so the idea of patriotism is not very strong in me. My country is the country of Chekhov, Beethoven, Velasquez - writers I like, painters and artists I admire. View quote

Hatred strikes me as one of the few signs of life remaining in the world. This is another thing about the world which is upsidedown: all the friendly and likable people seem dead to me; only the haters seem alive. View quote

I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you might nudge the world a little or make a poem that children will speak for you when you are dead. View quote
