Fernando Pessoa

Every spoken word double-crosses us. The written word is the only tolerable form of communication, as it isn't a stone in a bridge between souls but a ray of light between stars.
Fernando Pessoa
Today I suddenly experienced an absurd but quite valid sensation. I realized, in an intimate lightning flash, that I am no one. No one, absolutely no one.
Fernando Pessoa
The slope takes you to the windmill, but effort takes you nowhere.
Fernando Pessoa
I've reached the point where tedium is a person, the incarnate fiction of my own company.
Fernando Pessoa
I don't know what I feel or what I want to feel. I don't know what to think or what I am.
Fernando Pessoa

Fernando Pessoa
I never go to where's a risk. I'm frightened of dangers down to boredom.
Fernando Pessoa
If after I die, people want to write my biography, there is nothing simpler. They only need two dates: the date of my birth and the date of my death. Between one and another, every day is mine.
Fernando Pessoa
To think is to destroy.
Fernando Pessoa
I asked for very little from life, and even this little was denied me.
Fernando Pessoa
You breathe better when you're rich.
Fernando Pessoa
I wasn’t meant for reality, but life came and found me.
Fernando Pessoa
Every man who deserves to be famous knows it is not worth the trouble.
Fernando Pessoa
The end of lower art is to please, the end of average art is to raise the top, the end of superior art is to free.
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
