More quotes by Fernando Pessoa
I feel as if I'm always on the verge of waking up.
Fernando Pessoa
I don't know what I feel or what I want to feel. I don't know what to think or what I am.
Fernando Pessoa
Art gives us the illusion of liberation from the sordid business of being.
Fernando Pessoa
There's a non-existent peace in the uncertain quietness
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
I know not what tomorrow will bring.
Fernando Pessoa
The inventor of the mirror poisoned the human heart.
Fernando Pessoa
I always live in the present. The future I can't know. The past I no longer have.
Fernando Pessoa
I suffer from life and from other people. I can’t look at reality face to face. Even the sun discourages and depresses me. Only at night and all alone, withdrawn, forgotten and lost, with no connection to anything real or useful — only then do I find myself and feel comforted.
Fernando Pessoa
Everything stated or expressed by man is a note in the margin of a completely erased text. From what's in the note we can extract the gist of what must have been in the text, but there's always a doubt, and the possible meanings are many.
Fernando Pessoa
Should you ask me if I'm happy, I'll answer that I'm not.
Fernando Pessoa
My boredom with everything has numbed me.
Fernando Pessoa
I asked for very little from life, and even this little was denied me.
Fernando Pessoa
And as well as I dream, I reason if I want, for that's just another kind of dream.
Fernando Pessoa
Should I be what I think? But I think about being so many things!
Fernando Pessoa
There is no safe standard to tell man from animals.
Fernando Pessoa
I never had anyone I could call “Master”. No Christ died for me. No Buddha showed me the right path. In the depths of my dreams no Apollo or Athena appeared to me to enlighten my soul
Fernando Pessoa
I carry my awareness of defeat like a banner of victory.
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
Lord, may the pain be ours, And the weakness that it brings, But at least give us the strength, Of not showing it to anyone!
Fernando Pessoa
