More quotes by Fernando Pessoa
I suffer from life and from other people. I can’t look at reality face to face. Even the sun discourages and depresses me. Only at night and all alone, withdrawn, forgotten and lost, with no connection to anything real or useful — only then do I find myself and feel comforted.
Fernando Pessoa
Every man who deserves to be famous knows it is not worth the trouble.
Fernando Pessoa
I search and can't find myself. I belong in chrysanthemum time, sharp in calla lily elongations. God made my soul into an ornamental thing.
Fernando Pessoa
Faithful to the word given and the idea had.
Fernando Pessoa
God gave the sea the danger and the abyss, but it was in it that He mirrored the sky.
Fernando Pessoa
Fraternity has subtleties.
Fernando Pessoa
Should you ask me if I'm happy, I'll answer that I'm not.
Fernando Pessoa
Humanitarianism is rude.
Fernando Pessoa
Should I be what I think? But I think about being so many things!
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
Without madness what is man But a wholesome beast, Postponed corpse that begets?
Fernando Pessoa
I know not what tomorrow will bring.
Fernando Pessoa
In today's life, the world belongs only to the stupid, the insensitive and the agitated. The right to live and triumph is now conquered almost by the same means by which you conquer internment in an asylum: the inability to think, amorality and hiperexcitation.
Fernando Pessoa
Wasting time has an esthetics to it.
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
My past is everything I failed to be.
Fernando Pessoa
Every spoken word double-crosses us. The written word is the only tolerable form of communication, as it isn't a stone in a bridge between souls but a ray of light between stars.
Fernando Pessoa
It's been a long time since I've been me.
Fernando Pessoa
Who am I to myself? Just a feeling of mine.
Fernando Pessoa
The unnatural and the strange have a perfume of their own
Fernando Pessoa
