“Suffering is by no means a privilege, a sign of nobility, a reminder of God. Suffering is a fierce, bestial thing, commonplace, uncalled for. It is intangible; no one can grasp it or fight against it; it dwells in time—it is the same thing as time.”
-- Cesare Pavese, Diary entry (October 30, 1940)
Suffering is the same thing as time? Well, maybe when you get in your forties.
