About this Quote

This quote by Cesare Pavese suggests that everything in life includes a cost. Whether it is a product or a life experience, there is always a rate to pay. This might be in the type of money, time, effort, or perhaps feelings. Pavese is likewise suggesting that merely living is a high-end, which it comes with its own set of costs. Life is not free, and we should be willing to pay the rate for the important things we desire and require. This quote works as a tip that we must be mindful of the choices we make and the consequences that come with them. We should understand the expense of our actions and be prepared to pay the cost for the high-ends we look for.
