Fernando Pessoa

Fernando Pessoa
Image
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
Image
Isn't joyful or painful this pain in which I rejoice
Fernando Pessoa
Image
Given that we cannot know all the elements in a problem, we never can solve it.
