To choose ways of not acting was ever the concern and scruple of my life (Fernando Pessoa Quotes)
Time, which grays hair and wrinkles faces, also withers violent affections, and much more quickly (Fernando Pessoa Quotes)
To live strikes me as a metaphysical mistake of matter, a dereliction of inaction (Fernando Pessoa Quotes)
I’d woken up early, and I took a long time getting ready to exist (Fernando Pessoa Quotes)
To know nothing about yourself is to live. To know yourself badly is to think (Fernando Pessoa Quotes)
I look at myself but I’m missing. I know myself: it’s not me (Fernando Pessoa Quotes)
Direct experience is the evasion, or hiding place of those devoid of imagination (Fernando Pessoa Quotes)
Sometimes, when I wake up at night, I feel invisible hands weaving my destiny (Fernando Pessoa Quotes)
To stagnate in the sun, goldenly, like an obscure lake surrounded by flowers (Fernando Pessoa Quotes)
The abstract intelligence produces a fatigue that’s the worst of all fatigues. It doesn’t weigh on us like bodily fatigue, nor disconcert like the fatigue of emotional experience. It’s the weight of our consciousness of the world, a shortness of breath in our soul (Fernando Pessoa Quotes)
I’m something that I used to be. I’m never where I feel I am, and if I seek myself, I don’t know who’s seeking me. My boredom with everything has numbed me. I feel banished from my soul (Fernando Pessoa Quotes)
Your poems are of interest to mankind; your liver isn’t. Drink till you write well and feel sick. Bless your poems and be damned to you (Fernando Pessoa Quotes)
I’m upset by the happiness of all these men who don’t know they’re unhappy. Because of that, though, I love them all. Dear vegetables! (Fernando Pessoa Quotes)
I sometimes think, with a sad delight, that if one day, in a future I no longer belong to, these sentences, that I write, last with praise, I will at last have the people who understand me, those mine, the true family to be born in and be loved... I will only be understood in effigy, when affection no longer repays the dead the unaffection that was, when living (Fernando Pessoa Quotes)
Man shouldn’t be able to see his own face. That’s what’s most terrible. Nature gave him the possibility of not seeing it, as well as the incapacity of not seeing his own eyes (Fernando Pessoa Quotes)
The house clock, place certain there at the bottom of things, strikes the half hour dry and null. All is so much, all is so deep, all is so dark and cold! (Fernando Pessoa Quotes)
Everyone has his vanity, and each one’s vanity is his forgetting that there are others with an equal soul (Fernando Pessoa Quotes)
Ah, who will save me from existing? It’s neither death nor life that I want (Fernando Pessoa Quotes)
All pleasure is a vice, for seeking pleasure is what everybody does in life, and the only dark vice is doing what everybody does (Fernando Pessoa Quotes)
Given that we cannot know all the elements in a problem, we never can solve it (Fernando Pessoa Quotes)
The end is low, like all quantitative ends, personal or not, and it can be attained and verified (Fernando Pessoa Quotes)
I never was but an isolated bon vivant, which is absurd; or a mystic bon vivant, which is an impossible thing (Fernando Pessoa Quotes)
If we knew the truth, we’d see it; all else is system and outskirts (Fernando Pessoa Quotes)
Only sterility is noble and dignified. Only killing what never was is elevated and perverse and absurd (Fernando Pessoa Quotes)
As we wash our body so we should wash destiny, change life as we change clothes (Fernando Pessoa Quotes)
What is a disease is wishing with an equal intensity what is needed and what is desirable, and suffer for not being perfect as you would suffer for not having bread. The romantic error is this wanting the moon as if there was a way to get it (Fernando Pessoa Quotes)
Being a retired major looks like an ideal thing to me. What a pity you couldn’t eternally have been just a retired major (Fernando Pessoa Quotes)
And let our despite go to those who work and fight and our hate to those who hope and trust (Fernando Pessoa Quotes)
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 (Fernando Pessoa Quotes)
