More quotes by Fernando Pessoa

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
I never go to where's a risk. I'm frightened of dangers down to boredom.
