Cesare Pavese Quotes

Italian - Poet September 9, 1908 - August 27, 1950

We do not remember days, we remember moments.

Cesare Pavese

The richness of life lies in memories we have forgotten.

Cesare Pavese

The closing years of life are like the end of a masquerade party, when the masks are dropped.

If you wish to travel far and fast, travel light. Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears.

A man is never completely alone in this world. At the worst, he has the company of a boy, a youth, and by and by a grown man - the one he used to be.

Cesare Pavese

No woman marries for money; they are all clever enough, before marrying a millionaire, to fall in love with him first.

Their colors are changing fairly quickly. I do not apply any saturation to pictures; he is that blue. The stackable nut rings are a big hit. Goldfinch is here more often. Spring is in the air for sure. Woke up thinking about a new garden in the front lawn, artemisia powis castle, Spanish lavender, and pink cosmos. Need decide on an ornamental size tree for full sun. Just providing more places to land and hide. We'll see. 20 days to Spring. 😊 Jane

2021 Building a Kitchen Package - Mix or Not?

In our last house we had a Thermador cooktop and 2 Thermador wall ovens. Loved them both. It’s a great brand, I’m sure you’d love the range and speed oven, but I can’t speak to them exactly. No idea about the fridge or dishwasher. We have a Miele DW at home and a Bosch at our vacation house. Hands down, I prefer the Miele any day of the week over the Bosch. The DW is probably the appliance I could not live without.

Shortages To Expect In 2021

I hear about something new on the list every day it seams. Most delayed products are about the supply chain for containers. Sometimes labeling. Bread yeast again. The brown containers for Fleischmann's. (nutritional yeast for a bit when non-bakers were buying it thinking it was for bread, 😂) Educational hobby items, and outdoor/indoor activity toys....fish tanks and bicycles. Chicken incubators, sewing machines. Seeds are hit and miss. I just need carrots and a few salad varieties. And a specific hot pepper I'm out of. Some suppliers I use have seed but keep shutting down for ordering being so backed up with minimal staff. A local CSA is doubling their gardens this season. That might be common nationwide. That is a good thing. More local support.

http://www.rubythroat.org/RTHUAnatomyMain.html More information than one probably needs or wants, but it's a good project. Female hummingbirds are definitely here. She took one look at Buddy on the feeder and he zipped away. She immediately took over. She does ALL the work - he donates sperm and flies away - she builds the nest, lays the eggs, alone, she feeds the children through their fledging time. She makes about 100 trips a day to feed her children. I'm planting more flowers. Jane

Italian - Poet September 9, 1908 - August 27, 1950

Thank you, Don, for these quotes.

I know Pavese through his prose works -- one of my Italian professors was a great admirer of his novellas and short stories. Shortly before his death -- suicide -- he had won the prestigious Strega literary prize. He was part of the post-war literary explosion of new writers after the end of the war, the younger generation whose work reflected the struggles and experiences of their times.

Pavese, an anti-fascist, was in internal exile for part of Mussolini's rule, and after the end of WW2 became a member of the Communist Party. He had an intense love affair with an American actress (he was fluent in English, and a translator of US and British works), and suffered from depression.

For a time I was confused how a communist could be passionately in love an American -- succumbing to stereotypes, I know -- but then considered that GIs were among the liberating troops, driving out the Germans who occupied and ruled central and northern Italy after the fall of Mussolini.
