More quotes by Fernando Pessoa
The essence of what I desire is simply this: to sleep away life.
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
Your poems are of interest to mankind your liver isn't. Drink till you write well and feel sick. Bless your poems and be damned to you.
Fernando Pessoa
Multipliquei-me para me sentir.
Fernando Pessoa
I enjoy wording. Words for me are tangible bodies, visible sirens, incarnate sensualities.
Fernando Pessoa
I'm upset by the happiness of all these men who don't know they're unhappy. Because of that, though, I love them all. Dear vegetables!
Fernando Pessoa
Strength without agility is a mere mass.
Fernando Pessoa
What Hells and Purgatories and Heavens I have inside of me! But who sees me do anything that disagrees with life--me, so calm and peaceful?
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
You breathe better when you're rich.
Fernando Pessoa
My boredom with everything has numbed me.
Fernando Pessoa
And let our despite go to those who work and fight and our hate to those who hope and trust.
Fernando Pessoa
Should I be what I think? But I think about being so many things!
Fernando Pessoa
I pass times, I pass silences, formless worlds pass me by.
Fernando Pessoa
Life is whatever we conceive it to be.
Fernando Pessoa
Whether or not they exist we are slaves to our gods.
Fernando Pessoa
Everything around me is evaporating. My whole life, my memories, my imagination and its contents, my personality - it's all evaporating. I continuously feel that I was someone else, that I felt something else, that I thought something else. What I'm attending here is a show with another set. And the show I'm attending is myself.
Fernando Pessoa
Everything is worthwhile if the soul is not small.
Fernando Pessoa
If we knew the truth, we'd see it all else is system and outskirts.
Fernando Pessoa
Liberty is the possibility of isolation.
Fernando Pessoa
