More quotes by Fernando Pessoa
There are ships sailing to many ports, but not a single one goes where life is not painful.
Fernando Pessoa
Humanitarianism is rude.
Fernando Pessoa
On the road halfway between faith and criticism stands the inn of reason. Reason is faith in what can be understood without faith, but it's still a faith, since to understand presupposes that there's something understandable.
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
You breathe better when you're rich.
Fernando Pessoa
When I write, I solemnly visit myself.
Fernando Pessoa
I'd like to be in the country so that I'd could like being in the city.
Fernando Pessoa
I pass times, I pass silences, formless worlds pass me by.
Fernando Pessoa
To choose ways of not acting was ever the concern and scruple of my life.
Fernando Pessoa
Strength without agility is a mere mass.
Fernando Pessoa
The sea with an end can be Greek or Roman: the endless sea is Portuguese.
Fernando Pessoa
Multipliquei-me para me sentir.
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
No intelligent idea can gain general acceptance unless some stupidity is mixed in with it.
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 never go to where's a risk. I'm frightened of dangers down to boredom.
Fernando Pessoa
I never was but an isolated bon vivant, which is absurd or a mystic bon vivant, which is an impossible thing.
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
My boredom with everything has numbed me.
Fernando Pessoa
Your poems are of interest to mankind your liver isn't. Drink till you write well and feel sick. Bless your poems and be damned to you.
Fernando Pessoa
