Fernando Pessoa
Whether or not they exist we are slaves to our gods.
Fernando Pessoa
God wills, man dreams, the work is born.
Fernando Pessoa

Fernando Pessoa
My boredom with everything has numbed me.
Fernando Pessoa
Each of us is several, is many,is a profusion of selves. So that the self who disdains his surroundings is not the same as the self who suffers or takes joy in them. In the vast colony of our being there are many species of people who think and feel in different ways. Livro Do Desassossego
Fernando Pessoa
