"We three belong to the Middle Ages. We have this need of heroism, and there is no place for such feelings in modern life. That is our tragedy. Once I wanted to be a saint. It seemed the only absolute act left to do, for what is most powerful in me is the craving for purity, greatness. I am not living on earth. Neither are my brothers. We are dead."

"ogni casa, ogni cortile, ogni terrazzo, è stato qualcosa per qualcuno e, più ancora che al danno materiale e ai morti, dispiace pensare a tanti anni vissuti, tante memorie, spariti così in una notte senza lasciare un segno. O no? Magari è meglio così, meglio che tutto se ne vada in un falò d'erbe secche e che la gente ricominci."

ripreso dopo un lungo periodo di pausa, ispirata dalla forte pioggia di oggi. Pavese continua con le sue descrizioni impagabili della natura: ha appena descritto la luce rossastra che il protagonista vede scendendo dal suo camioncino impannato nel bel mezzo del nulla come "una fetta di luna che pareva una ferita di coltello e insanguinava la pianura"... wow

"My life is so sad, and I don't even think of weeping over it; my days are so false, and I don't even dream of trying to change them." mannn Fernando Pessoa you are doing some DAMAGE, how can I finish this book if every time I pick it up I find a beautiful line like this one and have to stop and stare at a wall ?! ugh...

The Book of Disquiet

Elisa
Elisa is on page 440 of 560 of The Book of Disquiet
"The circumstances of my life, solitary and quiet since my childhood, [...] have made my mind an endless stream of daydreams. Everything I am comes down to this"

"Seeing myself from the outside (as I almost always do), I'm unfit for action, flustered when I have to take a step or make a move, tongue-tied when I have to talk to someone [...]. It's only natural that I'm this way. A dreamer is expected to be this way."

"Why try to be like others if you're condemned to being yourself? Why laugh if, when you laugh, even your genuine happiness is false, since it is born of forgetting who you are?" WOAH

last night i finally finished the first (and main) section of the book, "A Factless Autobiography", spanning almost 400 pages. it made me think about the passages i read on the train in my first year of university, and about how, after years, i recently picked it up again on a whim. although it's taking me a while to get through, i'm really glad i'm taking it slow because now i have fond memories attached to the book

honestly i think is going to become one of my favorite books, 1) because of Pessoa's gorgeous writing style, 2) because i can relate to Bernando Soares's feelings/impressions a lot and 3) because i just find it all really interesting to grapple with, both from a literary and "philosophical" standpoint (i underlined and tabbed so much !!)

"Seguitai a salire e vidi il portico, il tronco del fico, un rastrello appoggiato all'uscio — la stessa corda col nodo pendeva dal foro dell'uscio. La stessa macchia di verderame intorno alla spalliera sul muro. La stessa pianta di rosmarino sull'angolo della casa. E l'odore, l'odore della casa, della riva, di mele marce, d'erba secca e di rosmarino."

"Il salto dal prato alla strada era come una volta — erba morta sotto il mucchio delle fascine, un cesto rotto, delle mele marce e schiacciate." il modo in cui racconta la campagna/collina Pavese... senza parole

Elisa is on page 44 of 704 of The Diaries of Franz Kafka (The Schocken Kafka Library)
"I finish nothing, because I have no time and there's so much pressure in me. If the whole day were free and this morning restlessness could rise in me by noon and tire itself out by evening then I could sleep. As it is, however, there remains for this restlessness only a twilight hour at most, it grows somewhat stronger, is then suppressed and uselessly and harmfully digs up the night for me." so relatable

finalmente posso riprendere la lettura di questo romanzo che, noto con gioia, crea sempre una bellissima atmosfera: "Il caffè s’era riempito di gente e di fumo; c’era una tavolata di rifugiati tedeschi che seguiva attentamente una partita di scacchi; al tavolo accanto una specie di pazza, che si credeva una prostituta, sola davanti a un caffelatte, faceva la vezzosa con un interlocutore invisibile."
