More quotes by Fernando Pessoa
The value of things is not the time they last, but the intensity with which they occur. That is why there are unforgettable moments and unique people!
Fernando Pessoa
In today's life, the world belongs only to the stupid, the insensitive and the agitated. The right to live and triumph is now conquered almost by the same means by which you conquer internment in an asylum: the inability to think, amorality and hiperexcitation.
Fernando Pessoa
The unnatural and the strange have a perfume of their own
Fernando Pessoa
You breathe better when you're rich.
Fernando Pessoa
I asked for very little from life, and even this little was denied me.
Fernando Pessoa
Multipliquei-me para me sentir.
Fernando Pessoa
I suffer from life and from other people. I can’t look at reality face to face. Even the sun discourages and depresses me. Only at night and all alone, withdrawn, forgotten and lost, with no connection to anything real or useful — only then do I find myself and feel comforted.
Fernando Pessoa
I am tired of myself in every way. All things, deep down to the secret of their roots, are stained by the color of my weariness.
Fernando Pessoa
In the very corner of my soul there is an altar to a different god.
Fernando Pessoa
As we wash our body so we should wash destiny, change life as we change clothes.
Fernando Pessoa
Art gives us the illusion of liberation from the sordid business of being.
Fernando Pessoa
Everything is theater.
Fernando Pessoa
I'd like to be in the country so that I'd could like being in the city.
Fernando Pessoa
But my sadness is comforting Because it’s right and natural And because it’s what the soul should feel When it already thinks it exists And the hand pick flowers And the soul takes no notice.
Fernando Pessoa
Solitude desolates me company oppresses me.
Fernando Pessoa
I walk along a street and see in the faces of the passersby not the expression they really have but the expression they would have for me if they knew about my life and how I am, if I carried, transparent in my gestures and my face, the ridiculous, timid abnormality of my soul.
Fernando Pessoa
Nobody appropriates novelties as readily as the Portuguese.
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
My soul is impatient with itself, as with a bothersome child its restlessness keeps growing and is forever the same. Everything interests me, but nothing holds me. I attend to everything, dreaming all the while.
Fernando Pessoa
Who am I to myself? Just a feeling of mine.
Fernando Pessoa
