As I walk, I construct perfect sentences that I cannot remember later at home. I don’t know if the ineffable poetry of those sentences derived from what they were or from their never having been (written). Fernando Pessoa
What Hells and Purgatories and Heavens I have inside of me! But who sees me do anything that disagrees with life--me, so calm and peaceful? Fernando Pessoa
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. Fernando Pessoa
Fernando Pessoa quote: "Whether or not they exist we are slaves to our gods."
Whether or not they exist we are slaves to our gods. Fernando Pessoa
At first I felt dizzy - not with the kind of dizziness that makes the body reel but the kind that's like a dead emptiness in the brain, an instinctive awareness of the void. Fernando Pessoa
I've always been an ironic dreamer, unfaithful to my inner promises. Like a complete outsider, a casual observer of whom I thought I was, I've always enjoyed watching my daydreams go down in defeat. I was never convinced of what I believed in. I filled my hands with sand, called it gold, and opened them up to let it slide through. Words were my only truth. When the right words were said, all was done; the rest was the sand that had always been. Fernando Pessoa
Nothing would bother me more than if they found me strange at the office. I like to revel in the irony that they don't find me at all strange. I like the hair shirt of being regarded by them as their equal. I like the crucifixion of being considered no different. THere are martyrdoms more subtle than those recorded for the saints and hermits. There are torments of our mental awareness as there are of the body and of desire. And in the former, as in the latter, there's a certain sensuality..... Fernando Pessoa
To be great, be whole; Exclude nothing, exaggerate nothing that is not you. Be whole in everything. Put all you are. Into the smallest thing you do. So, in each lake, the moon shines with splendor. Because it blooms up above. Fernando Pessoa
Again I see you, But me I don't see!, The magical mirror in which I saw myself has been broken, And only a piece of me I see in each fatal fragment - Only a piece of you and me!... Fernando Pessoa
Fernando Pessoa quote: "The chill of what I won't feel gnaws at my present heart."
The chill of what I won't feel gnaws at my present heart. Fernando Pessoa
Fernando Pessoa quote: "Isn't joyful or painful this pain in which I rejoice"
Isn't joyful or painful this pain in which I rejoice Fernando Pessoa
Fernando Pessoa quote: "There's an non-existent peace in the uncertain quietness"
There's an non-existent peace in the uncertain quietness Fernando Pessoa
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. Fernando Pessoa
