More quotes by Fernando Pessoa
I'm sick of everything, and of the everythingness of everything.
Fernando Pessoa
Have you ever considered, beloved other, how invisible we are to each other? We look at each other without seeing. We listen to each other and hear only a voice inside out self. The words of others are mistakes of our hearing, shipwrecks of our understanding. How confidently we believe OUR meanings of other people's words.
Fernando Pessoa
I carry my awareness of defeat like a banner of victory.
Fernando Pessoa
I'd like to be in the country so that I'd could like being in the city.
Fernando Pessoa
I’m beginning to know myself. I don’t exist. I’m the space between what I’d like to be and what others made of me. Just let me be at ease and all by myself in my room.
Fernando Pessoa
I know nothing and my heart aches
Fernando Pessoa
It is noble to be shy, illustrious not to know how to act, great not to have a gift for living.
Fernando Pessoa
But my sadness is comforting Because it’s right and natural And because it’s what the soul should feel When it already thinks it exists And the hand pick flowers And the soul takes no notice.
Fernando Pessoa
pg 9, The consciousness of life's unconsciousness is the oldest tax levied on the intelligence.
Fernando Pessoa
I take with me the conscience of defeat as a victory banner.
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
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
Everyone has his vanity, and each one's vanity is his forgetting that there are others with an equal soul.
Fernando Pessoa
I don't write in Portuguese. I write myself.
Fernando Pessoa
Given that we cannot know all the elements in a problem, we never can solve it.
Fernando Pessoa
I come closer to my desk as to a bulwark against life.
Fernando Pessoa
The human soul is an abyss
Fernando Pessoa
I seek and don’t find myself. I belong to chrysanthemum hours, neatly lined up in flowerpots.
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
I wasn’t meant for reality, but life came and found me.
Fernando Pessoa
