More quotes by Fernando Pessoa
Myth is the nothing that is all.
Fernando Pessoa
Everything is worthwhile if the soul is not small.
Fernando Pessoa
Strength without agility is a mere mass.
Fernando Pessoa
The supreme empire is that of the Emperor who renounces all normal life, that of other men, and in who the care of supremacy doesn't weigh like a load of jewels.
Fernando Pessoa
If you cannot live alone, you were born a slave.
Fernando Pessoa
The startling reality of things is my discovery every single day.
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
We’ve been devastated by the severest and deadliest drought in history – that of our profound awareness of the futility of all effort and the vanity of all plans.
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
I don't write in Portuguese. I write myself.
Fernando Pessoa
And let our despite go to those who work and fight and our hate to those who hope and trust.
Fernando Pessoa
It is noble to be shy, illustrious not to know how to act, great not to have a gift for living.
Fernando Pessoa
Blessed are those who entrust their lives to no one.
Fernando Pessoa
Literature exists because the world isn't enough.
Fernando Pessoa
Everything around me is evaporating. My whole life, my memories, my imagination and its contents, my personality - it's all evaporating. I continuously feel that I was someone else, that I felt something else, that I thought something else. What I'm attending here is a show with another set. And the show I'm attending is myself.
Fernando Pessoa
Art gives us the illusion of liberation from the sordid business of being.
Fernando Pessoa
There's a tiredness of abstract inteligence, and it's the most horrible of tirednesses. It doesn't weight on you like the tiredness of the body, nor does it worry you like the tiredness of knowledge and emotion. It's a weightiness of the conscience of the world, an inability of the soul to breathe.
Fernando Pessoa
God gave the sea the danger and the abyss, but it was in it that He mirrored the sky.
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
Let's buy books so as not to read them let's go to concerts without caring to hear the music or see who's there let's take long walks because we're sick of walking and let's spend whole days in the country, just because it bores us.
Fernando Pessoa
