More quotes by Fernando Pessoa
There’s enough metaphysics in not thinking about anything.
Fernando Pessoa
To think is to destroy.
Fernando Pessoa
I know nothing and my heart aches
Fernando Pessoa
No intelligent idea can gain general acceptance unless some stupidity is mixed in with it.
Fernando Pessoa
Nostalgia! I feel it even for someone who meant nothing to me, out of anxiety for the flight of time and a sickness bred of the mystery of life. If one of the faces I pass daily on the streets disappears, I feel sad yet they meant nothing to me, other than being a symbol of all life.
Fernando Pessoa
In today's life, the world belongs only to the stupid, the insensitive and the agitated. The right to live and triumph is now conquered almost by the same means by which you conquer internment in an asylum: the inability to think, amorality and hiperexcitation.
Fernando Pessoa
I asked for very little from life, and even this little was denied me.
Fernando Pessoa
In the very corner of my soul there is an altar to a different god.
Fernando Pessoa
My curiosity sister of larks.
Fernando Pessoa
I pass times, I pass silences, formless worlds pass me by.
Fernando Pessoa
Man shouldn't be able to see his own face. That's what's most terrible. Nature gave him the possibility of not seeing it, as well as the incapacity of not seeing his own eyes.
Fernando Pessoa
Better to dream than to be.
Fernando Pessoa
Humanitarianism is rude.
Fernando Pessoa
I crave time in all its duration, and I want to be myself unconditionally.
Fernando Pessoa
All beginnings are involuntary.
Fernando Pessoa
Literature exists because the world isn't enough.
Fernando Pessoa
At first I felt dizzy - not with the kind of dizziness that makes the body reel but the kind that's like a dead emptiness in the brain, an instinctive awareness of the void.
Fernando Pessoa
If this be to have sense, if to be awake Be but to see this bright, great sleep of things, For the rarer potion mine own dreams I'll take And for truth commune with imaginings
Fernando Pessoa
These pages are not my confession they’re my definition. And I feel, as I begin to write it, that I can write it with some semblance of truth.
Fernando Pessoa
To narrate is to create, for living is just being lived.
Fernando Pessoa
