More quotes by Fernando Pessoa
I'm a man for whom the outside world is an inner Reality.
Fernando Pessoa
If you cannot live alone, you were born a slave.
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
Liberty is the possibility of isolation.
Fernando Pessoa
And let our despite go to those who work and fight and our hate to those who hope and trust.
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
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
If we knew the truth, we'd see it all else is system and outskirts.
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
I carry my awareness of defeat like a banner of victory.
Fernando Pessoa
What is a disease is wishing with an equal intensity what is needed and what is desirable, and suffer for not being perfect as you would suffer for not having bread. The romantic error is this wanting the moon as if there was a way to get it.
Fernando Pessoa
Myth is the nothing that is all.
Fernando Pessoa
The sea with an end can be Greek or Roman: the endless sea is Portuguese.
Fernando Pessoa
It's been a long time since I've been me.
Fernando Pessoa
Whether or not they exist we are slaves to our gods.
Fernando Pessoa
Inch by inch I conquered the inner terrain I was born with. Bit by bit I reclaimed the swamp in which I'd languished. I gave birth to my infinite being, but I had to wrench myself out of me with forceps.
Fernando Pessoa
Attention to detail and a perfectionist instinct, far from stimulating action, are character qualities that lead to renunciation. Better to dream than to be.
Fernando Pessoa
The unnatural and the strange have a perfume of their own
Fernando Pessoa
Without madness what is man But a wholesome beast, Postponed corpse that begets?
Fernando Pessoa
I know not what tomorrow will bring.
Fernando Pessoa
