More quotes by Fernando Pessoa
I carry my awareness of defeat like a banner of victory.
Fernando Pessoa
I come closer to my desk as to a bulwark against life.
Fernando Pessoa
I seek and don’t find myself. I belong to chrysanthemum hours, neatly lined up in flowerpots.
Fernando Pessoa
Our problem isn't that we're individualists. It's that our individualism is static rather than dynamic. We value what we think rather than what we do. We forget that we haven't done, or been, what we thought that the first function of life is action, just as the first property of things is motion.
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
Yes, talking to people makes me sleepy.
Fernando Pessoa
Wise is he who enjoys the show offered by the world.
Fernando Pessoa
Why is art beautiful? Because it's useless. Why is life ugly? Because it's all ends and purposes and intentions.
Fernando Pessoa
I asked for very little from life, and even this little was denied me.
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.
Fernando Pessoa
I take with me the conscience of defeat as a victory banner.
Fernando Pessoa
The beauty of a naked body is felt only by the dressed races.
Fernando Pessoa
The sea with an end can be Greek or Roman: the endless sea is Portuguese.
Fernando Pessoa
Everything is absurd.
Fernando Pessoa
The unnatural and the strange have a perfume of their own
Fernando Pessoa
What is a disease is wishing with an equal intensity what is needed and what is desirable, and suffer for not being perfect as you would suffer for not having bread. The romantic error is this wanting the moon as if there was a way to get it.
Fernando Pessoa
I'm sick of everything, and of the everythingness of everything.
Fernando Pessoa
My boredom with everything has numbed me.
Fernando Pessoa
If I write what I feel, it's to reduce the fever of feeling. What I confess is unimportant, because everything is unimportant.
Fernando Pessoa
Multipliquei-me para me sentir.
Fernando Pessoa
