More quotes by 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
In any spirit that isn't deformed there is the belief in God. In any spirit that is not deformed there isn't the belief in a particular God.
Fernando Pessoa
Action men are the unvoluntary slaves of wise men.
Fernando Pessoa
FIRST WATCHER Why do people die? SECOND WATCHER Perhaps because they don't dream enough.
Fernando Pessoa

Fernando Pessoa
I don't mourn the loss of my childhood I mourn because everything, including (my) childhood, is lost.
Fernando Pessoa
To be great, be whole Exclude nothing. Be whole in everything.
Fernando Pessoa
Everything is worthwhile if the soul is not small.
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
The beauty of a naked body is felt only by the dressed races.
Fernando Pessoa
And let our despite go to those who work and fight and our hate to those who hope and trust.
Fernando Pessoa
The startling reality of things is my discovery every single day.
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
I was a poet animated by philosophy, not a philosopher with poetic faculties.
Fernando Pessoa
To know nothing about yourself is to live. To know yourself badly is to think.
Fernando Pessoa
All of this passes, and none of it means anything to me.It's all foreign to my fate, and even to fate as a whole. It'sjust unconsciousness, curses of protest when chance hurlsstones, echoes of unknown voices - a collectivemishmash of life.
Fernando Pessoa
After the rains departed the skies and settled on earth - clear skies moist brilliant earth - greater clarity returned to life alone with the blue above and made the world below rejoice with the freshness of the recent rain. It left heaven in our souls and a freshness in our hearts.
Fernando Pessoa
Inch by inch I conquered the inner terrain I was born with. Bit by bit I reclaimed the swamp in which I'd languished. I gave birth to my infinite being, but I had to wrench myself out of me with forceps.
Fernando Pessoa
Strength without agility is a mere mass.
Fernando Pessoa
Every gesture is a revolutionary act.
Fernando Pessoa
