More quotes by Fernando Pessoa
Our problem isn't that we're individualists. It's that our individualism is static rather than dynamic. We value what we think rather than what we do. We forget that we haven't done, or been, what we thought that the first function of life is action, just as the first property of things is motion.
Fernando Pessoa
I know nothing and my heart aches
Fernando Pessoa
I know not what tomorrow will bring.
Fernando Pessoa

Fernando Pessoa
At first I felt dizzy - not with the kind of dizziness that makes the body reel but the kind that's like a dead emptiness in the brain, an instinctive awareness of the void.
Fernando Pessoa
My soul is impatient with itself, as with a bothersome child its restlessness keeps growing and is forever the same. Everything interests me, but nothing holds me. I attend to everything, dreaming all the while.
Fernando Pessoa
The inventor of the mirror poisoned the human heart.
Fernando Pessoa
To know nothing about yourself is to live. To know yourself badly is to think.
Fernando Pessoa
