More quotes by Fernando Pessoa
To choose ways of not acting was ever the concern and scruple of my life.
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 feel as if I'm always on the verge of waking up.
Fernando Pessoa
The beauty of a naked body is felt only by the dressed races.
Fernando Pessoa
I was a poet animated by philosophy, not a philosopher with poetic faculties.
Fernando Pessoa
It is noble to be shy, illustrious not to know how to act, great not to have a gift for living.
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
Let's buy books so as not to read them let's go to concerts without caring to hear the music or see who's there let's take long walks because we're sick of walking and let's spend whole days in the country, just because it bores us.
Fernando Pessoa
Art lies because it's social.
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
I am the suburb of a non-existent town, the prolix commentary on a book never written. I am nobody, nobody. I am a character in a novel which remains to be written, and I float, aerial, scattered without ever having been, among the dreams of a creature who did not know how to finish me off.
Fernando Pessoa
Never having discovered qualities in myself which could attract someone else, I could never believe that anyone felt attracted to me.
Fernando Pessoa
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
I asked for very little from life, and even this little was denied me.
Fernando Pessoa
To think is to destroy.
Fernando Pessoa
I pass times, I pass silences, formless worlds pass me by.
Fernando Pessoa
Everything is worthwhile if the soul is not small.
Fernando Pessoa
I wasn’t meant for reality, but life came and found me.
Fernando Pessoa
Yes, talking to people makes me sleepy.
Fernando Pessoa
All beginnings are involuntary.
Fernando Pessoa
