More quotes by Fernando Pessoa
My past is everything I failed to be.
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
Solitude desolates me company oppresses 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
Humanitarianism is rude.
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 Know, I Alone I know, I alone How much it hurts, this heart With no faith nor law Nor melody nor thought. Only I, only I And none of this can I say Because feeling is like the sky - Seen, nothing in it to see.
Fernando Pessoa
There is no safe standard to tell man from animals.
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
Let's buy books so as not to read them let's go to concerts without caring to hear the music or see who's there let's take long walks because we're sick of walking and let's spend whole days in the country, just because it bores us.
Fernando Pessoa
If we knew the truth, we'd see it all else is system and outskirts.
Fernando Pessoa
The startling reality of things is my discovery every single day.
Fernando Pessoa
FIRST WATCHER Why do people die? SECOND WATCHER Perhaps because they don't dream enough.
Fernando Pessoa
Without madness what is man But a wholesome beast, Postponed corpse that begets?
Fernando Pessoa
I take with me the conscience of defeat as a victory banner.
Fernando Pessoa
We almost always live outside ourselves, and life itself is a continual dispersion. But it's towards ourselves that we tend, as towards a centre around which, like planets, we trace absurd and distant ellipses.
Fernando Pessoa
Everything is theater.
Fernando Pessoa
I asked for very little from life, and even this little was denied me.
Fernando Pessoa
My soul is impatient with itself, as with a bothersome child its restlessness keeps growing and is forever the same. Everything interests me, but nothing holds me. I attend to everything, dreaming all the while.
Fernando Pessoa
Multipliquei-me para me sentir.
Fernando Pessoa
