Fernando Pessoa Quotes

To feel today what one felt yesterday isn’t to feel - it’s to remember today what was felt yesterday, to be today’s living corpse of what yesterday was lived and lost Picture Quote #1

To kill our dream life would be to kill ourselves, to mutilate our soul. Dreaming is the one thing we have that’s really ours, invulnerably and inalterably ours Picture Quote #1

I crave time in all its duration, and I want to be myself unconditionally Picture Quote #1

Smell is a strange sight. It evokes sentimental landscapes through a sudden sketching of the subconscious Picture Quote #1

I never go to where’s a risk. I’m frightened of dangers down to boredom Picture Quote #1

To love is to tire of being alone; it is therefore a cowardice, a betrayal of ourselves. (It is exceedingly important that we not love.) Picture Quote #1

After the rains departed the skies and settled on earth - clear skies; moist brilliant earth - greater clarity returned to life alone with the blue above and made the world below rejoice with the freshness of the recent rain. It left heaven in our souls and a freshness in our hearts Picture Quote #1

But do we really live? To live without knowing what life is - is that living? Picture Quote #1

I am the escaped one, After I was born They locked me up inside me But I left. My soul seeks me, Through hills and valley, I hope my soul Never finds me Picture Quote #1

Let’s absurdify life, from east to west. Let us play hide-and-seek with our consciousness of living Picture Quote #1

Every spoken word double-crosses us. The only tolerable form of communication is the written word, since it isn’t a stone in a bridge between souls but a ray of light between stars Picture Quote #1

The Gods sell when they give. Glory is paid for with disgrace. Poor are the happy, for they are Just what passes Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I search and can’t find myself. I belong in chrysanthemum time, sharp in calla lily elongations. God made my soul into an ornamental thing Picture Quote #1

There is no happiness without knowledge. But knowledge of happiness is unhappy; for knowing ourselves happy is knowing ourselves passing through happiness, and having to, immediatly at once, leave it behind. To know is to kill, in happiness as in everything. Not to know, though, is not to exist Picture Quote #1

Stones in the road? I save every single one, and one day I’ll build a castle Picture Quote #1

I will be what I want. But I will have to want what I’ll be. Success is in having success, not conditions for success Picture Quote #1

For valuing your own suffering sets on it the gold of a sun of pride. Suffering a lot can originate the illusion of being the Chosen of Pain Picture Quote #1

If I had written King Lear, I would regret it all my life afterwards. Because that work is so big, that its defects show as huge, its monstrous defects, things even minimal in between some scenes and their possible perfection. It’s not the sun with spots; it’s a broken greek statue Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I never cared about whatever tragic event happened in China. It’s faraway decoration, even if in blood and plague Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Nostalgia! I feel it even for someone who meant nothing to me, out of anxiety for the flight of time and a sickness bred of the mystery of life. If one of the faces I pass daily on the streets disappears, I feel sad; yet they meant nothing to me, other than being a symbol of all life Picture Quote #1

The presence of another person derails my thoughts; I dream of the other’s presence with a strange absent-mindedness that no amount of my analytical scrutiny can define Picture Quote #1

Why is art beautiful? Because it’s useless. Why is life ugly? Because it’s all ends and purposes and intentions Picture Quote #1

Success consists in being successful, not in having potential for success. Any wide piece of ground is the potential site of a palace, but there’s no palace till it’s built Picture Quote #1

I don’t complain about the horror of life; I complain about the horror of my life. The only fact I worry about is that I exist and suffer and can’t even dream of being removed from my feeling of suffering Picture Quote #1

Everyone has his vanity, and each one’s vanity is his forgetting that there are others with an equal soul Picture Quote #1

There are no norms. All people are exceptions to a rule that doesn’t exist Picture Quote #1

...the painful intensity of my sensations, even when they’re happy ones; the blissful intensity of my sensations, even when they’re sad Picture Quote #1
