Fernando Pessoa
Having touched Christ's feet is not an excuse for punctuation mistakes.
Fernando Pessoa
Liberty is the possibility of isolation.
Fernando Pessoa
To live strikes me as a metaphysical mistake of matter, a dereliction of inaction.
Fernando Pessoa
To love is to tire of being alone it is therefore a cowardice, a betrayal of ourselves. (It is exceedingly important that we not love.)
Fernando Pessoa
My soul is impatient with itself, as with a bothersome child its restlessness keeps growing and is forever the same. Everything interests me, but nothing holds me. I attend to everything, dreaming all the while.
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
The perfect man of pagans was the perfection of the man there is the perfect man of christians, the perfection of the man there isn't the buddhists' perfect man, the perfection of not existing a man.
Fernando Pessoa
My boredom with everything has numbed me.
Fernando Pessoa
Life is good, but Wine is better.
Fernando Pessoa
Nostalgia! I feel it even for someone who meant nothing to me, out of anxiety for the flight of time and a sickness bred of the mystery of life. If one of the faces I pass daily on the streets disappears, I feel sad yet they meant nothing to me, other than being a symbol of all life.
Fernando Pessoa
Should I be what I think? But I think about being so many things!
Fernando Pessoa
It's been a long time since I've been me.
Fernando Pessoa
The unnatural and the strange have a perfume of their own
Fernando Pessoa
I always live in the present. The future I can't know. The past I no longer have.
Fernando Pessoa
And as well as I dream, I reason if I want, for that's just another kind of dream.
Fernando Pessoa
pg 9, The consciousness of life's unconsciousness is the oldest tax levied on the intelligence.
Fernando Pessoa
In today's life, the world belongs only to the stupid, the insensitive and the agitated. The right to live and triumph is now conquered almost by the same means by which you conquer internment in an asylum: the inability to think, amorality and hiperexcitation.
Fernando Pessoa
If after I die, people want to write my biography, there is nothing simpler. They only need two dates: the date of my birth and the date of my death. Between one and another, every day is mine.
Fernando Pessoa
We’ve been devastated by the severest and deadliest drought in history – that of our profound awareness of the futility of all effort and the vanity of all plans.
Fernando Pessoa
