"It is not that the child lives in a world of imagination, but that the child within us survives and starts into life only at rare moments of recollection, which makes us believe, and it is not true, that, as children, we were imaginative?"
- Cesare Pavese
About this Quote
This quote by Cesare Pavese talks with the idea that our youth creative imaginations are not always shed as we age, but instead stay dormant within us. He recommends that it is just in uncommon moments of recollection that the child within us is able to start into life once again. This makes us think that we were a lot more creative as kids, when actually, we are still capable of accessing our imaginations as grownups. Pavese's quote urges us to recognize that our imaginations are not lost, yet instead continue to be within us, waiting to be accessed in minutes of representation. He reminds us that our creative imaginations are still alive and that we can access them any time.
