More quotes by Fernando Pessoa
To narrate is to create, for living is just being lived.
Fernando Pessoa
Should I be what I think? But I think about being so many things!
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
I've always rejected being understood. To be understood is to prostitute oneself. I prefer to be taken seriously for what I'm not, remaining humanly unknown, with naturalness and all due respect
Fernando Pessoa
The inventor of the mirror poisoned the human heart.
Fernando Pessoa
Isn't joyful or painful this pain in which I rejoice
Fernando Pessoa
I'm a man for whom the outside world is an inner Reality.
Fernando Pessoa
You breathe better when you're rich.
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
Action men are the unvoluntary slaves of wise men.
Fernando Pessoa
I think of life as an inn where I have to stay until the abyss coach arrives. I don't know where it will take me, for I know nothing.
Fernando Pessoa
I want to be a work of art, at least in my soul, since I can’t be one in my body.
Fernando Pessoa
I am nothing. I'll never be anything. I couldn't want to be something. Apart from that, I have in me all the dreams in the world.
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
Art lies because it's social.
Fernando Pessoa
Nobody appropriates novelties as readily as the Portuguese.
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
I am tired of myself in every way. All things, deep down to the secret of their roots, are stained by the color of my weariness.
Fernando Pessoa
I belong to a generation - assuming that this generation includes others besides me - that lost its faith in the gods of the old religions as well as in the gods of modern nonreligions. I reject Jehova as I reject humanity.
Fernando Pessoa
God wills, man dreams, the work is born.
Fernando Pessoa
