Fernando Pessoa
I'm a man for whom the outside world is an inner Reality.
Fernando Pessoa
To be great, be whole Exclude nothing, exaggerate nothing that is not you. Be whole in everything. Put all you are Into the smallest thing you do. So, in each lake, the moon shines with splendor Because it blooms up above.

To know nothing about yourself is to live. To know yourself badly is to think.
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 around me is evaporating. My whole life, my memories, my imagination and its contents, my personality - it's all evaporating. I continuously feel that I was someone else, that I felt something else, that I thought something else. What I'm attending here is a show with another set. And the show I'm attending is myself.
Fernando Pessoa
No intelligent idea can gain general acceptance unless some stupidity is mixed in with it.
Fernando Pessoa
I asked for very little from life, and even this little was denied me.
Fernando Pessoa
