Quotes

THIRD WATCHER Let her speak. Don't interrupt. She knows words that mermaids taught her...I'm falling asleep in order to hear her...Go on, sister, go on...My heart aches because I wasn't you when you dreamed at the seashore... Fernando Pessoa
My hapless peers with their lofty dreams--how I envy and despise them! I'm with the others, the even more hapless, who have no-one but themselves to whom they can tell their dreams and show what would be verses if they wrote them. I'm with those poor slobs who have no books to show, who have no literature beside their own soul, and who are suffocating to death due to the fact that they exist without having taken that mysterious, transcendental exam that makes one eligible to live. Fernando Pessoa
What can I expect from myself? My sensation in all their horrible acuity, and a profound awareness of feeling. A sharp mind that only destroys me, and an unusual capacity for dreaming to keep me entertained. A dead will and a reflection that cradles it, like a living child. From, The Book of Disquiet Fernando Pessoa
If this be to have sense, if to be awake. Be but to see this bright, great sleep of things, For the rarer potion mine own dreams I'll take. And for truth commune with imaginings Fernando Pessoa
I’ve dreamed a lot. I’m tired now from dreaming but not tired of dreaming. No one tires of dreaming, because to dream is to forget, and forgetting does not weigh on us, it is a dreamless sleep throughout which we remain awake. In dreams I have achieved everything. 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
Fernando Pessoa quote: "Does dreaming of princesses serve a better purpose than..."
Does dreaming of princesses serve a better purpose than dreaming of the front door to the office? Fernando Pessoa
Fernando Pessoa quote: "Let us sculpt in hopeless silence all our dreams of speaking."
Let us sculpt in hopeless silence all our dreams of speaking. 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. […]. I'm two, and both keep their distance — Siamese twins that aren't attached. Fernando Pessoa
In this metallic age of barbarians, only a relentless cultivation of our ability to dream, to analyse and to captivate can prevent our personality from degenerating into nothing or else into a personality like all the rest. Fernando Pessoa
I never had anyone I could call “Master”. No Christ died for me. No Buddha showed me the right path. In the depths of my dreams no Apollo or Athena appeared to me to enlighten my soul Fernando Pessoa
Fernando Pessoa quote: "FIRST WATCHER Why do people die? SECOND WATCHER Perhaps..."
FIRST WATCHER Why do people die? SECOND WATCHER Perhaps because they don't dream enough... Fernando Pessoa
Fernando Pessoa quote: "I am nothing. I will never be anything. I cannot wish to be..."
I am nothing. I will never be anything. I cannot wish to be anything. Bar that, I have in me all the dreams of the world. Fernando Pessoa
This world is for those who are born to conquer it, Not for those who dream that are able to conquer it, even if they're right. Fernando Pessoa
I am nothing. I'll never be anything. I couldn't want to be something. Apart from that, I have in me all the dreams in the world. Fernando Pessoa
