Cesare Pavese on Freedom

← Back to Cesare Pavese Profile
“We do not free ourselves from something by avoiding it, but only by living though it.”
Cesare Pavese
“Since God could have created a freedom in which there could be no evil (i.e., a state when men were happy and free and certain not to sin), it follows that He wished evil to exist. But evil offends Him. A commonplace case of masochism.”
