The principle tragedy of my l...

The principle tragedy of my life is, like all tragedies, an irony of Destiny. I reject real life as if it were a condemnation; I reject dreams as if they were an ignoble liberation. [...]After the end of the stars uselessly whitened in the morning sky and the breeze became less cold in the barely orange tinged in the yellow of the light on the scattered low clouds, I, who hadn't slept, could finally, slowly raise my body, exhausted from nothing from the bed from which I had thought the universe.

Fernando Pessoa 317 quotes

Everything I sought in life I...

Everything I sought in life I abandoned for the sake of the search. I'm like one who absentmindedly looks for he doesn't know what, having forgotten it in his dreaming as the search got under way.

Fernando Pessoa 317 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 317 quotes

I'm a man for whom the outside world is an inner Reality.

Fernando Pessoa 317 quotes

Each of us is several, is man...

Each of us is several, is many,is a profusion of selves. So that the self who disdains his surroundings is not the same as the self who suffers or takes joy in them. In the vast colony of our being there are many species of people who think and feel in different ways. Livro Do Desassossego

Fernando Pessoa 317 quotes

Man shouldn't be able to see ...

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 317 quotes

To have defined and sure opin...

To have defined and sure opinions, fixed and known instincts, passions and character - all that is the horror of turning our soul into a fact, materialize it and make it external.

Fernando Pessoa 317 quotes

I never was but an isolated b...

I never was but an isolated bon vivant, which is absurd; or a mystic bon vivant, which is an impossible thing.

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.

Fernando Pessoa 317 quotes

Talking to people makes me fe...

Talking to people makes me feel like sleeping. Only my ghostly and imaginary friends, only the conversations I have in my dreams, are genuinely real and substantial.

Fernando Pessoa 317 quotes

If I had written King Lear, I...

If I had written King Lear, I would regret it all my life afterwards. Because that work is so big, that its defects show as huge, its monstrous defects, things even minimal in between some scenes and their possible perfection. It's not the sun with spots; it's a broken greek statue.

Fernando Pessoa 317 quotes

These pages are not my confes...

These pages are not my confession; they’re my definition. And I feel, as I begin to write it, that I can write it with some semblance of truth.

Fernando Pessoa 317 quotes

The Gods sell when they give....

The Gods sell when they give. Glory is paid for with disgrace. Poor are the happy, for they are Just what passes.

Fernando Pessoa 317 quotes

A being who, as I grew older,...

A being who, as I grew older, lost imagination, emotion, a type of intelligence, a way of feeling things - all that which, while it made me sorry, did not horrify me. But what am I experiencing when I read myself as if I were someone else? On which bank am I standing if I see myself in the depths?

Fernando Pessoa 317 quotes

Whenever someone tells me he ...

Whenever someone tells me he dreamed, I wonder if he realizes that he has never done anything but dream.

Fernando Pessoa 317 quotes

It's in an inland sea that the river of my life ended.

Fernando Pessoa 317 quotes

My homeland is the portuguese language.

Fernando Pessoa 317 quotes

For valuing your own sufferin...

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.

Fernando Pessoa 317 quotes

At first I felt dizzy - not w...

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 317 quotes

Let's develop theories, patie...

Let's develop theories, patiently and honestly thinking them out, in order to promptly act against them – acting and justifying our actions with new theories that condemn them. Let's cut a path in life and then go immediately against that path. Let's adopt all the poses and gestures of something we aren't and don't even wish to be, and don't even wish to taken for being.
