More quotes by Fernando Pessoa
The sea with an end can be Greek or Roman: the endless sea is Portuguese.
Fernando Pessoa
I enjoy wording. Words for me are tangible bodies, visible sirens, incarnate sensualities.
Fernando Pessoa
I feel as if I'm always on the verge of waking up.
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
The startling reality of things is my discovery every single day.
Fernando Pessoa
The inventor of the mirror poisoned the human heart.
Fernando Pessoa
Every gesture is a revolutionary act.
Fernando Pessoa
I’ve dreamed a lot. I’m tired now from dreaming but not tired of dreaming. No one tires of dreaming, because to dream is to forget, and forgetting does not weigh on us, it is a dreamless sleep throughout which we remain awake. In dreams I have achieved everything.
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
To narrate is to create, for living is just being lived.
Fernando Pessoa
We’ve been devastated by the severest and deadliest drought in history – that of our profound awareness of the futility of all effort and the vanity of all plans.
Fernando Pessoa
The slope takes you to the windmill, but effort takes you nowhere.
Fernando Pessoa
Each of us is several, is many,is a profusion of selves. So that the self who disdains his surroundings is not the same as the self who suffers or takes joy in them. In the vast colony of our being there are many species of people who think and feel in different ways. Livro Do Desassossego
Fernando Pessoa
Should I be what I think? But I think about being so many things!
Fernando Pessoa
We never love anyone. What we love is the idea we have of someone. It's our own concept—our own selves—that we love.
Fernando Pessoa
And I have the others in me. Even when I’m far away from them, I am forced to live with them. Even when I’m all alone, crowds surround me. I have no place to flee to, unless I were to flee from myself.
Fernando Pessoa
The beauty of a naked body is felt only by the dressed races.
Fernando Pessoa
Isn't joyful or painful this pain in which I rejoice
Fernando Pessoa
God wills, man dreams, the work is born.
Fernando Pessoa
My soul's the present shadow of a presence gone.
Fernando Pessoa
