More quotes by Fernando Pessoa
Time, which grays hair and wrinkles faces, also withers violent affections, and much more quickly.
Fernando Pessoa

Fernando Pessoa

Fernando Pessoa
To think is to destroy.
Fernando Pessoa
My curiosity sister of larks.
Fernando Pessoa

Fernando Pessoa
And let our despite go to those who work and fight and our hate to those who hope and trust.
Fernando Pessoa
THIRD WATCHER Let her speak. Don't interrupt. She knows words that mermaids taught her...I'm falling asleep in order to hear her...Go on, sister, go on...My heart aches because I wasn't you when you dreamed at the seashore.
Fernando Pessoa
Yes, talking to people makes me sleepy.
Fernando Pessoa
Nature is the difference between the soul and God.
Fernando Pessoa
Everything is worthwhile if the soul is not small.
Fernando Pessoa
There are ships sailing to many ports, but not a single one goes where life is not painful.
Fernando Pessoa
The human soul is an abyss
Fernando Pessoa
Given that we cannot know all the elements in a problem, we never can solve it.
Fernando Pessoa
As we wash our body so we should wash destiny, change life as we change clothes.
Fernando Pessoa
Wasting time has an esthetics to it.
Fernando Pessoa
