In any spirit that isn't deformed there is the belief in God. In any spirit that is not deformed there isn't the belief in a particular God.

More quotes by Fernando Pessoa
Each of us is several, is many,is a profusion of selves. So that the self who disdains his surroundings is not the same as the self who suffers or takes joy in them. In the vast colony of our being there are many species of people who think and feel in different ways. Livro Do Desassossego
Fernando Pessoa
To be great, be whole Exclude nothing, exaggerate nothing that is not you. Be whole in everything. Put all you are Into the smallest thing you do. So, in each lake, the moon shines with splendor Because it blooms up above.
Fernando Pessoa
I crave time in all its duration, and I want to be myself unconditionally.
Fernando Pessoa
I am the suburb of a non-existent town, the prolix commentary on a book never written. I am nobody, nobody. I am a character in a novel which remains to be written, and I float, aerial, scattered without ever having been, among the dreams of a creature who did not know how to finish me off.
Fernando Pessoa
If I write what I feel, it's to reduce the fever of feeling. What I confess is unimportant, because everything is unimportant.
Fernando Pessoa
Who am I to myself? Just a feeling of mine.
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
When I write, I solemnly visit myself.
Fernando Pessoa
I've reached the point where tedium is a person, the incarnate fiction of my own company.
Fernando Pessoa
What Hells and Purgatories and Heavens I have inside of me! But who sees me do anything that disagrees with life--me, so calm and peaceful?
Fernando Pessoa
Our problem isn't that we're individualists. It's that our individualism is static rather than dynamic. We value what we think rather than what we do. We forget that we haven't done, or been, what we thought that the first function of life is action, just as the first property of things is motion.
Fernando Pessoa
Strength without agility is a mere mass.
Fernando Pessoa
Wise is he who enjoys the show offered by the world.
Fernando Pessoa
Everyone has his vanity, and each one's vanity is his forgetting that there are others with an equal soul.
Fernando Pessoa
FIRST WATCHER Why do people die? SECOND WATCHER Perhaps because they don't dream enough.
Fernando Pessoa
And let our despite go to those who work and fight and our hate to those who hope and trust.
Fernando Pessoa
We worship perfection because we can't have it if we had it, we would reject it. Perfection is inhuman, because humanity is imperfect.
Fernando Pessoa
I have at this moment so many fundamental thoughts, so many truly metaphysical things to say, that I suddenly get tired and decide not to write any more, not to think any more, but to allow the fever of speaking to make me sleepy, and with my eyes closed, like a cat, I play with everything I could have said.
Fernando Pessoa
I never go to where's a risk. I'm frightened of dangers down to boredom.
Fernando Pessoa
I always live in the present. The future I can't know. The past I no longer have.
Fernando Pessoa
