Fernando Pessoa
There is a time when it is necessary to abandon the used clothes, which already have the shape of our body and to forget our paths, which takes us always to the same places. This is the time to cross the river: and if we don't dare to do it, we will have stayed, forever beneath ourselves
Fernando Pessoa
Without madness what is man But a wholesome beast, Postponed corpse that begets?
Fernando Pessoa
