I don't write in Portuguese. I write myself.
Fernando Pessoa
Image
I never was but an isolated bon vivant, which is absurd or a mystic bon vivant, which is an impossible thing.
Fernando Pessoa
Image
My joy is as painful as my pain.
Fernando Pessoa
Image
That is my morality or my metaphysics or me myself: a passer-by in everything, even my own soul. I belong to nothing, I desire nothing, I am nothing except an abstract centre of impersonal sensations, a sentient mirror fallen from the wall but still turned to reflect the diversity of the world.
Fernando Pessoa
Image
Fraternity has subtleties.
Fernando Pessoa
Image
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
Image
Everything around me is evaporating. My whole life, my memories, my imagination and its contents, my personality - it's all evaporating. I continuously feel that I was someone else, that I felt something else, that I thought something else. What I'm attending here is a show with another set. And the show I'm attending is myself.
Fernando Pessoa
Image
I pass times, I pass silences, formless worlds pass me by.
Fernando Pessoa
Image
After the rains departed the skies and settled on earth - clear skies moist brilliant earth - greater clarity returned to life alone with the blue above and made the world below rejoice with the freshness of the recent rain. It left heaven in our souls and a freshness in our hearts.
Fernando Pessoa
Image
If you cannot live alone, you were born a slave.
Fernando Pessoa
Image
To be great, be whole Exclude nothing, exaggerate nothing that is not you. Be whole in everything. Put all you are Into the smallest thing you do. So, in each lake, the moon shines with splendor Because it blooms up above.
Fernando Pessoa
Image
Having touched Christ's feet is not an excuse for punctuation mistakes.
Fernando Pessoa
Image
I take with me the conscience of defeat as a victory banner.
Fernando Pessoa
Image
I come closer to my desk as to a bulwark against life.
Fernando Pessoa
Image
Without madness what is man But a wholesome beast, Postponed corpse that begets?
Fernando Pessoa
Image
Multipliquei-me para me sentir.
Fernando Pessoa
Image
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
Image
Yes, talking to people makes me sleepy.
Fernando Pessoa
Image
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
Image
To think is to destroy. The very process of thought indicates it for the same thought, as thinking is decomposing.
Fernando Pessoa
