I am the outskirts of some no...

I am the outskirts of some non-existent town, the long-winded prologue to an unwritten book. I'm nobody, nobody. I don't know how to feel or think or love. I'm a character in a novel as yet unwritten, hovering in the air and undone before I've even existed, amongst the dreams of someone who never quite managed to breath life into me.

Fernando Pessoa 317 quotes

For a long time now I haven't...

For a long time now I haven't existed. I'm utterly calm. No one distinguishes me from who I am. I just felt myself breath as if I'd done something new, or done it late. I'm beginning to be conscious of being conscious. Perhaps tomorrow I will wake up to myself and resume the course of my existence. I don't know if that will make more happy or less. I don't know anything.

Writing is like paying myself a formal visit.

Everything is worthwhile if the soul is not small.

Fernando Pessoa 317 quotes

The value of things is not the time they last, but the intensity with which they occur. That is why there are unforgettable moments and unique people!

Fernando Pessoa 317 quotes

The essence of what I desire ...

The essence of what I desire is simply this: to sleep away life.

Fernando Pessoa 317 quotes

My dreams are a stupid refuge...

My dreams are a stupid refuge, like an umbrella against a thunderbolt.

Fernando Pessoa 317 quotes

We never love anyone. What we...

We never love anyone. What we love is the idea we have of someone. It's our own concept—our own selves—that we love.

Literature exists because the world isn't enough.

The startling reality of things is my discovery every single day.

To be great, be whole; Exclude nothing. Be whole in everything.

It's been a long time since I've been me.

Fernando Pessoa 317 quotes

I’m beginning to know myself....

I’m beginning to know myself. I don’t exist. I’m the space between what I’d like to be and what others made of me. Just let me be at ease and all by myself in my room.

Fernando Pessoa 317 quotes

My happiest hours are those i...

My happiest hours are those in which I think nothing, want nothing, when I do not even dream, but lose myself in some spurious vegetable torpor, moss growing on the surface of life. Without a trace of bitterness I savour my absurd awareness of being nothing, a mere foretaste of death and extinction.

Fernando Pessoa 317 quotes

To kill our dream life would ...

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.

Fernando Pessoa 317 quotes

There is a time when it is ne...

There is a time when it is necessary to abandon the used clothes, which already have the shape of our body and to forget our paths, which takes us always to the same places. This is the time to cross the river: and if we don't dare to do it, we will have stayed, forever beneath ourselves

Stones in the road? I save every single one, and one day I'll build a castle.

Fernando Pessoa 317 quotes

But do we really live? To live without knowing what life is - is that living?

Fernando Pessoa 317 quotes

I’ve dreamed a lot. I’m tired...

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.

As we wash our body so we should wash destiny, change life as we change clothes.
