More quotes by Fernando Pessoa
Man shouldn't be able to see his own face. That's what's most terrible. Nature gave him the possibility of not seeing it, as well as the incapacity of not seeing his own eyes.
Fernando Pessoa
Myth is the nothing that is all.
Fernando Pessoa
I always live in the present. The future I can't know. The past I no longer have.
Fernando Pessoa
And I have the others in me. Even when I’m far away from them, I am forced to live with them. Even when I’m all alone, crowds surround me. I have no place to flee to, unless I were to flee from myself.
Fernando Pessoa
To be great, be whole Exclude nothing. Be whole in everything.
Fernando Pessoa
God wills, man dreams, the work is born.
Fernando Pessoa

Fernando Pessoa
Life is whatever we conceive it to be.
Fernando Pessoa

Fernando Pessoa
Multipliquei-me para me sentir.
Fernando Pessoa
The beauty of a naked body is felt only by the dressed races.
Fernando Pessoa
I seek and don’t find myself. I belong to chrysanthemum hours, neatly lined up in flowerpots.
Fernando Pessoa
In this metallic age of barbarians, only a relentless cultivation of our ability to dream, to analyse and to captivate can prevent our personality from degenerating into nothing or else into a personality like all the rest.
Fernando Pessoa
Your poems are of interest to mankind your liver isn't. Drink till you write well and feel sick. Bless your poems and be damned to you.
Fernando Pessoa
I enjoy wording. Words for me are tangible bodies, visible sirens, incarnate sensualities.
Fernando Pessoa
I don't believe in the landscape.
Fernando Pessoa
My soul's the present shadow of a presence gone.
Fernando Pessoa
I want to be a work of art, at least in my soul, since I can’t be one in my body.
Fernando Pessoa
