Fernando Pessoa
Liberty is the possibility of isolation.
Fernando Pessoa
I am nothing. I'll never be anything. I couldn't want to be something. Apart from that, I have in me all the dreams in the world.
Fernando Pessoa
Never having discovered qualities in myself which could attract someone else, I could never believe that anyone felt attracted to me.
Fernando Pessoa
Multipliquei-me para me sentir.
Fernando Pessoa
Let's buy books so as not to read them let's go to concerts without caring to hear the music or see who's there let's take long walks because we're sick of walking and let's spend whole days in the country, just because it bores us.
Fernando Pessoa

Fernando Pessoa
Life is good, but Wine is better.
Fernando Pessoa
My past is everything I failed to be.

Everyone has his vanity, and each one's vanity is his forgetting that there are others with an equal soul.
Fernando Pessoa
I know not what tomorrow will bring.
Fernando Pessoa
Everything stated or expressed by man is a note in the margin of a completely erased text. From what's in the note we can extract the gist of what must have been in the text, but there's always a doubt, and the possible meanings are many.
Fernando Pessoa
There are metaphors more real than the people who walk in the street.
Fernando Pessoa
Wise is he who enjoys the show offered by the world.
Fernando Pessoa
I carry my awareness of defeat like a banner of victory.
Fernando Pessoa
Action men are the unvoluntary slaves of wise men.
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
If we knew the truth, we'd see it all else is system and outskirts.
Fernando Pessoa
