More quotes by Fernando Pessoa
I pass times, I pass silences, formless worlds pass me by.
Fernando Pessoa
God wills, man dreams, the work is born.
Fernando Pessoa
Lord, may the pain be ours, And the weakness that it brings, But at least give us the strength, Of not showing it to anyone!
Fernando Pessoa
All beginnings are involuntary.
Fernando Pessoa
Everyone has his vanity, and each one's vanity is his forgetting that there are others with an equal soul.
Fernando Pessoa
God gave the sea the danger and the abyss, but it was in it that He mirrored the sky.
Fernando Pessoa
Life is good, but Wine is better.
Fernando Pessoa
In the very corner of my soul there is an altar to a different god.
Fernando Pessoa

Fernando Pessoa
Whether or not they exist we are slaves to our gods.
Fernando Pessoa
To know nothing about yourself is to live. To know yourself badly is to think.

Fernando Pessoa
I take with me the conscience of defeat as a victory banner.
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
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
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
Every man who deserves to be famous knows it is not worth the trouble.
Fernando Pessoa
Having touched Christ's feet is not an excuse for punctuation mistakes.
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
It is noble to be shy, illustrious not to know how to act, great not to have a gift for living.
Fernando Pessoa
