More quotes by Fernando Pessoa
Better to dream than to be.
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
I feel as if I'm always on the verge of waking up.
Fernando Pessoa
There are metaphors more real than the people who walk in the street.
Fernando Pessoa
Strength without agility is a mere mass.
Fernando Pessoa
Everyone has his vanity, and each one's vanity is his forgetting that there are others with an equal soul.
Fernando Pessoa

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
Lord, may the pain be ours, And the weakness that it brings, But at least give us the strength, Of not showing it to anyone!
Fernando Pessoa
I suffer from life and from other people. I can’t look at reality face to face. Even the sun discourages and depresses me. Only at night and all alone, withdrawn, forgotten and lost, with no connection to anything real or useful — only then do I find myself and feel comforted.
Fernando Pessoa
I don't believe in the landscape.
Fernando Pessoa
To narrate is to create, for living is just being lived.
Fernando Pessoa
I'm a man for whom the outside world is an inner Reality.
Fernando Pessoa
In the very corner of my soul there is an altar to a different god.
Fernando Pessoa
Who am I to myself? Just a feeling of mine.
Fernando Pessoa
And as well as I dream, I reason if I want, for that's just another kind of dream.
Fernando Pessoa
I'd like to be in the country so that I'd could like being in the city.
Fernando Pessoa
Blessed are those who entrust their lives to no one.
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
Humanitarianism is rude.
Fernando Pessoa
