More quotes by Fernando Pessoa
To know nothing about yourself is to live. To know yourself badly is to think.
Fernando Pessoa
Have you ever considered, beloved other, how invisible we are to each other? We look at each other without seeing. We listen to each other and hear only a voice inside out self. The words of others are mistakes of our hearing, shipwrecks of our understanding. How confidently we believe OUR meanings of other people's words.
Fernando Pessoa
