Lord, may the pain be ours, And the weakness that it brings, But at least give us the strength, Of not showing it to anyone!

More quotes by Fernando Pessoa
The sea with an end can be Greek or Roman: the endless sea is Portuguese.
Fernando Pessoa
I don't write in Portuguese. I write myself.
Fernando Pessoa
In the very corner of my soul there is an altar to a different god.
Fernando Pessoa
Everything is theater.
Fernando Pessoa
There's a tiredness of abstract inteligence, and it's the most horrible of tirednesses. It doesn't weight on you like the tiredness of the body, nor does it worry you like the tiredness of knowledge and emotion. It's a weightiness of the conscience of the world, an inability of the soul to breathe.
Fernando Pessoa
I don't know what I feel or what I want to feel. I don't know what to think or what I am.
Fernando Pessoa
What can I expect from myself? My sensation in all their horrible acuity, and a profound awareness of feeling. A sharp mind that only destroys me, and an unusual capacity for dreaming to keep me entertained. A dead will and a reflection that cradles it, like a living child. From, The Book of Disquiet
Fernando Pessoa
To think is to destroy. The very process of thought indicates it for the same thought, as thinking is decomposing.
Fernando Pessoa
Solitude desolates me company oppresses me.
Fernando Pessoa
It's been a long time since I've been me.
Fernando Pessoa
Myth is the nothing that is all.
Fernando Pessoa
...the painful intensity of my sensations, even when they're happy ones the blissful intensity of my sensations, even when they're sad.
Fernando Pessoa
My soul's the present shadow of a presence gone.
Fernando Pessoa
I take with me the conscience of defeat as a victory banner.
Fernando Pessoa
I belong to a generation - assuming that this generation includes others besides me - that lost its faith in the gods of the old religions as well as in the gods of modern nonreligions. I reject Jehova as I reject humanity.
Fernando Pessoa
Fraternity has subtleties.
Fernando Pessoa
I don't believe in the landscape.
Fernando Pessoa
My boredom with everything has numbed me.
Fernando Pessoa
I am the suburb of a non-existent town, the prolix commentary on a book never written. I am nobody, nobody. I am a character in a novel which remains to be written, and I float, aerial, scattered without ever having been, among the dreams of a creature who did not know how to finish me off.
Fernando Pessoa
Nobody appropriates novelties as readily as the Portuguese.
Fernando Pessoa
