The poet is a pretender. / He pretends so completely, / that he even pretends that it is pain / the pain he really feels.

For I am the size of what I see / not my height's size.

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

Solitude desolates me; company oppresses me.

If you cannot live alone, you were born a slave.

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.

Fernando Pessoa 317 quotes

For valuing your own suffering...

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.

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!

...the painful intensity of my sensations, even when they're happy ones; the blissful intensity of my sensations, even when they're sad.

Fernando Pessoa 317 quotes

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.

Fernando Pessoa 317 quotes

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 317 quotes

If life has given us no more than a prison cell, let's at least decorate it as best we can-with the shadows of our dreams, their colourful patterns engraving our oblivion on the static surface of the walls.

Fernando Pessoa 317 quotes

One or another man, liberated ...

One or another man, liberated or cursed, suddenly sees-but even this man sees rarely-that all we are is what we aren't, that we fool ourselves about what's true and are wrong about what we conclude is right. And this man, who in a flash sees the universe naked, creates a philosophy or dreams up a religion; and the philosophy spreads and the religion propagates, and those who believe in the philosophy begin to wear it as a suit they don't see, and those who believe in the religion put it on as a mask they soon forget.
