More quotes by Fernando Pessoa
The human soul is an abyss
Fernando Pessoa

Fernando Pessoa
I know not what tomorrow will bring.
Fernando Pessoa
The end of lower art is to please, the end of average art is to raise the top, the end of superior art is to free.
Fernando Pessoa
What is a disease is wishing with an equal intensity what is needed and what is desirable, and suffer for not being perfect as you would suffer for not having bread. The romantic error is this wanting the moon as if there was a way to get it.
Fernando Pessoa
Isn't joyful or painful this pain in which I rejoice
Fernando Pessoa

Fernando Pessoa
And I have the others in me. Even when I’m far away from them, I am forced to live with them. Even when I’m all alone, crowds surround me. I have no place to flee to, unless I were to flee from myself.
Fernando Pessoa
There's a non-existent peace in the uncertain quietness
Fernando Pessoa
I walk along a street and see in the faces of the passersby not the expression they really have but the expression they would have for me if they knew about my life and how I am, if I carried, transparent in my gestures and my face, the ridiculous, timid abnormality of my soul.
Fernando Pessoa
