More quotes by Fernando Pessoa
Myth is the nothing that is all.
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'd like to be in the country so that I'd could like being in the city.
Fernando Pessoa
I don't believe in the landscape.
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
The startling reality of things is my discovery every single day.
Fernando Pessoa
And let our despite go to those who work and fight and our hate to those who hope and trust.
Fernando Pessoa

Fernando Pessoa
You breathe better when you're rich.
Fernando Pessoa
Should I be what I think? But I think about being so many things!

All beginnings are involuntary.
Fernando Pessoa
I seek and don’t find myself. I belong to chrysanthemum hours, neatly lined up in flowerpots.
Fernando Pessoa
I’ve dreamed a lot. I’m tired now from dreaming but not tired of dreaming. No one tires of dreaming, because to dream is to forget, and forgetting does not weigh on us, it is a dreamless sleep throughout which we remain awake. In dreams I have achieved everything.
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
Art lies because it's social.
Fernando Pessoa
Blessed are those who entrust their lives to no one.
Fernando Pessoa
I always live in the present. The future I can't know. The past I no longer have.
Fernando Pessoa
All of this passes, and none of it means anything to me.It's all foreign to my fate, and even to fate as a whole. It'sjust unconsciousness, curses of protest when chance hurlsstones, echoes of unknown voices - a collectivemishmash of life.
Fernando Pessoa
Nature is the difference between the soul and God.
Fernando Pessoa
