More quotes by Fernando Pessoa
Everything is theater.
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
I know not what tomorrow will bring.
Fernando Pessoa
On the road halfway between faith and criticism stands the inn of reason. Reason is faith in what can be understood without faith, but it's still a faith, since to understand presupposes that there's something understandable.
Fernando Pessoa
And let our despite go to those who work and fight and our hate to those who hope and trust.
Fernando Pessoa
Blessed are those who entrust their lives to no one.
Fernando Pessoa
Multipliquei-me para me sentir.
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

Fernando Pessoa
I wasn’t meant for reality, but life came and found me.
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
Life is whatever we conceive it to be.
Fernando Pessoa
To narrate is to create, for living is just being lived.
Fernando Pessoa
Should I be what I think? But I think about being so many things!
Fernando Pessoa
Every gesture is a revolutionary act.
Fernando Pessoa
I don't write in Portuguese. I write myself.
Fernando Pessoa
Having touched Christ's feet is not an excuse for punctuation mistakes.
Fernando Pessoa
pg 9, The consciousness of life's unconsciousness is the oldest tax levied on the intelligence.
Fernando Pessoa
Every man who deserves to be famous knows it is not worth the trouble.
Fernando Pessoa
