More quotes by Fernando Pessoa
Everything is theater.
Fernando Pessoa
If this be to have sense, if to be awake Be but to see this bright, great sleep of things, For the rarer potion mine own dreams I'll take And for truth commune with imaginings
Fernando Pessoa
And let our despite go to those who work and fight and our hate to those who hope and trust.
Fernando Pessoa
Should you ask me if I'm happy, I'll answer that I'm not.
Fernando Pessoa
To know nothing about yourself is to live. To know yourself badly is to think.
Fernando Pessoa
I don't mourn the loss of my childhood I mourn because everything, including (my) childhood, is lost.
Fernando Pessoa
I always live in the present. The future I can't know. The past I no longer have.
Fernando Pessoa
I never had anyone I could call “Master”. No Christ died for me. No Buddha showed me the right path. In the depths of my dreams no Apollo or Athena appeared to me to enlighten my soul
Fernando Pessoa
We’ve been devastated by the severest and deadliest drought in history – that of our profound awareness of the futility of all effort and the vanity of all plans.
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 was a poet animated by philosophy, not a philosopher with poetic faculties.
Fernando Pessoa
I'm a man for whom the outside world is an inner Reality.
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
Why is art beautiful? Because it's useless. Why is life ugly? Because it's all ends and purposes and intentions.
Fernando Pessoa
Yes, talking to people makes me sleepy.
Fernando Pessoa
The beauty of a naked body is felt only by the dressed races.
Fernando Pessoa
Faithful to the word given and the idea had.
Fernando Pessoa
We worship perfection because we can't have it if we had it, we would reject it. Perfection is inhuman, because humanity is imperfect.
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 know nothing and my heart aches
Fernando Pessoa
