More quotes by 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
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
Isn't joyful or painful this pain in which I rejoice
Fernando Pessoa
I asked for very little from life, and even this little was denied me.
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
If you cannot live alone, you were born a slave.
Fernando Pessoa
When I write, I solemnly visit myself.
Fernando Pessoa
Should you ask me if I'm happy, I'll answer that I'm not.
Fernando Pessoa
You breathe better when you're rich.
Fernando Pessoa
Should I be what I think? But I think about being so many things!
Fernando Pessoa
Literature exists because the world isn't enough.
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
There is a time when it is necessary to abandon the used clothes, which already have the shape of our body and to forget our paths, which takes us always to the same places. This is the time to cross the river: and if we don't dare to do it, we will have stayed, forever beneath ourselves
Fernando Pessoa
Having touched Christ's feet is not an excuse for punctuation mistakes.
Fernando Pessoa
Every man who deserves to be famous knows it is not worth the trouble.
Fernando Pessoa
And as well as I dream, I reason if I want, for that's just another kind of dream.
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
It's been months since I last wrote. I've lived in a state of mental slumber, leading the life of someone else. I've felt, very often, a vicarious happiness. I haven't existed. I've been someone else. I've lived without thinking.
Fernando Pessoa
It's been a long time since I've been me.
Fernando Pessoa
I take with me the conscience of defeat as a victory banner.
Fernando Pessoa
