More quotes by Fernando Pessoa
And let our despite go to those who work and fight and our hate to those who hope and trust.
Fernando Pessoa
Multipliquei-me para me sentir.
Fernando Pessoa
Blessed are those who entrust their lives to no one.
Fernando Pessoa
The supreme empire is that of the Emperor who renounces all normal life, that of other men, and in who the care of supremacy doesn't weigh like a load of jewels.
Fernando Pessoa
The startling reality of things is my discovery every single day.
Fernando Pessoa
Whether or not they exist we are slaves to our gods.
Fernando Pessoa
Attention to detail and a perfectionist instinct, far from stimulating action, are character qualities that lead to renunciation. Better to dream than to be.
Fernando Pessoa
I wasn’t meant for reality, but life came and found me.
Fernando Pessoa
To live strikes me as a metaphysical mistake of matter, a dereliction of inaction.
Fernando Pessoa
God wills, man dreams, the work is born.
Fernando Pessoa
My soul's the present shadow of a presence gone.
Fernando Pessoa
I am nothing. I'll never be anything. I couldn't want to be something. Apart from that, I have in me all the dreams in the world.
Fernando Pessoa
My boredom with everything has numbed me.
Fernando Pessoa
pg 9, The consciousness of life's unconsciousness is the oldest tax levied on the intelligence.
Fernando Pessoa
I suffer from life and from other people. I can’t look at reality face to face. Even the sun discourages and depresses me. Only at night and all alone, withdrawn, forgotten and lost, with no connection to anything real or useful — only then do I find myself and feel comforted.
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
Strength without agility is a mere mass.
Fernando Pessoa
We almost always live outside ourselves, and life itself is a continual dispersion. But it's towards ourselves that we tend, as towards a centre around which, like planets, we trace absurd and distant ellipses.
Fernando Pessoa
Nature is the difference between the soul and God.
Fernando Pessoa
Wasting time has an esthetics to it.
Fernando Pessoa
