More quotes by Fernando Pessoa
Myth is the nothing that is all.
Fernando Pessoa
What is a disease is wishing with an equal intensity what is needed and what is desirable, and suffer for not being perfect as you would suffer for not having bread. The romantic error is this wanting the moon as if there was a way to get it.
Fernando Pessoa
Having touched Christ's feet is not an excuse for punctuation mistakes.
Fernando Pessoa
Have you ever considered, beloved other, how invisible we are to each other? We look at each other without seeing. We listen to each other and hear only a voice inside out self. The words of others are mistakes of our hearing, shipwrecks of our understanding. How confidently we believe OUR meanings of other people's words.
Fernando Pessoa
To live strikes me as a metaphysical mistake of matter, a dereliction of inaction.
Fernando Pessoa
Literature exists because the world isn't enough.
Fernando Pessoa
I walk along a street and see in the faces of the passersby not the expression they really have but the expression they would have for me if they knew about my life and how I am, if I carried, transparent in my gestures and my face, the ridiculous, timid abnormality of my soul.
Fernando Pessoa
Action men are the unvoluntary slaves of wise men.
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
Wasting time has an esthetics to it.
Fernando Pessoa
I never was but an isolated bon vivant, which is absurd or a mystic bon vivant, which is an impossible thing.
Fernando Pessoa
The human soul is an abyss
Fernando Pessoa
It's been a long time since I've been me.
Fernando Pessoa
Everything is theater.
Fernando Pessoa
These pages are not my confession they’re my definition. And I feel, as I begin to write it, that I can write it with some semblance of truth.
Fernando Pessoa
You breathe better when you're rich.
Fernando Pessoa
Nature is the difference between the soul and God.
Fernando Pessoa
I always live in the present. The future I can't know. The past I no longer have.
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
