Giacomo Leopardi Quotes

Men are ready to suffer anything from others or from heaven itself, provided that, when it comes to words, they are untouched Picture Quote #1
Nature, with her customary beneficence, has ordained that man shall not learn how to live until the reasons for living are stolen from him, that he shall find no enjoyment until he has become incapable of vivid pleasure Picture Quote #1
The old man, especially if he is in society in the privacy of his thoughts, though he may protest the opposite, never stops believing that, through some singular exception of the universal rule, he can in some unknown and inexplicable way still make an impression on women Picture Quote #1
It’s not our disadvantages or shortcomings that are ridiculous, but rather the studious way we try to hide them, and our desire to act as if they did not exist Picture Quote #1
The artisan or scientist or the follower of whatever discipline who has the habit of comparing himself not with other followers but with the discipline itself will have a lower opinion of himself, the more excellent he is Picture Quote #1
What do you do there, moon, in the sky? Tell me what you do, silent moon. When evening comes you rise and go contemplating wastelands; then you set Picture Quote #1

Death is not an evil, because it frees us from all evils, and while it takes away good things, it takes away also the desire for them. Old age is the supreme evil, because it deprives us of all pleasures, leaving us only the appetite for them, and it brings with it all sufferings. Nevertheless, we fear death, and we desire old age Picture Quote #1
He who has the courage to laugh is almost as much a master of the world as he who is ready to die Picture Quote #1
He who travels much has this advantage over others – that the things he remembers soon become remote, so that in a short time they acquire the vague and poetical quality which is only given to other things by time. He who has not traveled at all has this disadvantage – that all his memories are of things present somewhere, since the places with which all his memories are concerned are present Picture Quote #1
The surest way of concealing from others the boundaries of one s own knowledge is not to overstep them Picture Quote #1
Irresolute men are sometimes very persistent in their undertakings, because if they give up their designs they would have to make a second resolution Picture Quote #1
