More quotes by Fernando Pessoa
Action men are the unvoluntary slaves of wise men.
Fernando Pessoa
I search and can't find myself. I belong in chrysanthemum time, sharp in calla lily elongations. God made my soul into an ornamental thing.
Fernando Pessoa
I seek and don’t find myself. I belong to chrysanthemum hours, neatly lined up in flowerpots.
Fernando Pessoa
Nobody appropriates novelties as readily as the Portuguese.
Fernando Pessoa
There's a non-existent peace in the uncertain quietness
Fernando Pessoa
I am tired of myself in every way. All things, deep down to the secret of their roots, are stained by the color of my weariness.
Fernando Pessoa

Fernando Pessoa
Inch by inch I conquered the inner terrain I was born with. Bit by bit I reclaimed the swamp in which I'd languished. I gave birth to my infinite being, but I had to wrench myself out of me with forceps.
Fernando Pessoa
Everything is worthwhile if the soul is not small.
Fernando Pessoa
Who am I to myself? Just a feeling of mine.
Fernando Pessoa
Man shouldn't be able to see his own face. That's what's most terrible. Nature gave him the possibility of not seeing it, as well as the incapacity of not seeing his own eyes.
Fernando Pessoa
Everything is absurd.
Fernando Pessoa
My curiosity sister of larks.
Fernando Pessoa
My joy is as painful as my pain.
Fernando Pessoa
To be great, be whole Exclude nothing. Be whole in everything.
Fernando Pessoa
