| d5dc8cd | Dusk shrouds the long and useless day. Even the hope it denied us crumbles To nothing . . . Life is a drunken beggar Holding out his hand to his own shadow. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| 7433171 | Se escrevo o que sinto e porque assim diminuo a febre de sentir. | inspirational | Fernando Pessoa | |
| b581c1c | There are pigs like me that wallow in their destiny, not drawing away from the banality of daily life because they're enthralled by their own impotence. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| c4e90e5 | The entire life of the human soul is mere motions in the shadows. We live in a twilight of consciousness, never in accord with whom we are or think we are. Everyone harbours some kind of vanity, and there's an error whose degree we can't determine. We're something that goes on during the show's intermission; sometimes, through certain doors, we catch a glimpse of what may be no more than scenery. The world is one big confusion, like voices .. | Fernando Pessoa | ||

| 4e95e2e | Pessoa invented The Book of Disquiet, which never existed, strictly speaking, and can never exist. What we have here isn't a book but its subversion and negation: the ingredients for a book whose recipe is to keep sifting, the mutant germ of a book and its weirdly lush ramifications, the rooms and windows to build a book but no floor plan and no floor, a compendium of many potential books and many others already in ruins. What we have in th.. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| fc27ae4 | With slight misconceptions of reality we fabricate our hopes and beliefs, and we live off crusts that we call cakes, like poor children who make-believe they're happy. | hope lie life reality truth | Fernando Pessoa | |
| 6b13848 | Each us is more than one person, many people, a proliferation of our one self. That's why the same person who scorns his surroundings is different from the person who is gladdened or made to suffer by them. In the vast colony of our being there are many different kinds of people, all thinking and feeling differently. | Fernando Pessoa | ||

| af66a76 | Todo se me evapora. Mi vida entera, mis recuerdos, mi imaginacion y lo que contiene, mi personalidad, todo se me evapora. Continuamente siento que he sido otro, que he sentido otro, que he pensado otro. Aquello a lo que asisto es un espectaculo con otro escenario. Y aquello a lo que asisto soy yo | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| d08a229 | Reducir las necesidades al minimo, para no depender en nada de los demas. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| ee60bda | Ha um cansaco da inteligencia abstracta, e e o mais horroroso dos cansacos. Nao pesa como o cansaco do corpo, nem inquieta como o cansaco do conhecimento pela emocao. E um peso da consciencia do mundo, um nao poder respirar com a alma. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| 9fa198f | Mi-am cucerit, putin cate putin, teritoriul interior care urma sa fie al meu. Mi-am cerut, unul dupa altul, intinsurile de mlastina in care nu mai ramasese nimic din mine. Si am scos la iveala fiinta mea infinita, dar a trebuit sa ma scot pe mine din mine cu forcepsul". - Fernando Pessoa, "Cartea nelinistirii" | cartea-nelinistirii fernando-pessoa the-book-of-disquiet | Fernando Pessoa | |
| ba47ea5 | I find the present monotonous and absurd spectacle of the world outside me so completely lacking in value or nobility that I can scarcely conceive of it as being the world. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| 9fc1d15 | Saudades, so portugueses Conseguem senti-las bem. Porque tem essa palavra Para dizer que as tem. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| 20d76c0 | I asked for very little from life, and even this little was denied me. A nearby field, a ray of sunlight, a little bit of calm along with a bit of bread, not to feel oppressed by the knowledge that I exist, not to demand anything from others, and not to have others demand anything from me - this was denied me, like the spare change we might deny a beggar not because we're mean-hearted but because we don't feel like unbuttoning our coat. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| 70ab28c | A physical nausea, prompted by all of life, was born in the moment I woke up. A horror at the prospect of having to live got up with me out of bed. Everything seemed hollow, and I had the chilling impression that there is no solution for whatever the problem may be. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| fe13ec8 | There are dreamed anguishes that are more real Than the ones life brings us, there are sensations Felt only by imagining Which are more ours than our own life is. There's so often a thing which, not existing, Does exist, exists lingeringly And lingeringly is ours and us... | dreams living poetry | Fernando Pessoa | |
| ff9bb67 | PROCRASTINATION The day after tomorrow, yes, only the day after tomorrow ... Tomorrow I'll start thinking about the day after tomorrow, Maybe I could do it then; but not today ... No, nothing today; today I can't. The confused persistence of my objective subjectivity, The sleep of my real life, intercalated, Anticipated, infinite weariness-- I'm worlds too weary to catch a trolley-- That kind of soul ... Only the day after tomorrow ... Toda.. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| 8f153f6 | Every gesture is a dead dream. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| ead5cd4 | 167 It's one of those days when the monotony of everything oppresses me like being thrown into jail. The monotony of everything is merely the monotony of myself, however. Each face, even if seen just yesterday, is different today, because today isn't yesterday. Each day is the day it is, and there was never another one like it in the world. Only our soul makes the identification - a genuinely felt but erroneous identification - by which eve.. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| 32af080 | Anonymous > Quotes > Quotable Quote "I see life as a roadside inn where I have to stay until the coach from the abyss pulls up. I don't know where it will take me, because I don't know anything. I could see this inn as a prison, for I'm compelled to wait in it; I could see it as a social centre, for it's here that I meet others. But I'm neither impatient nor common. I leave who will to stay shut up in their rooms, sprawled out on beds where.. | melancholy metaphor | Fernando Pessoa | |

Mi espiritu esta todo hecho de vacilacion y duda. Nada, para mi, es o no puede ser positivo; todo oscila a mi alrededor, y yo con ello; solo soy incertidumbre. Todo es para mi incoherencia y cambio. Todo es misterio y todo es significante. Cada cosa es un simbolo < |

| 5aa8352 | The Complete Work is essentially dramatic, thought it takes different forms - prose passages in this first volume, poems and philosophies in other volumes. It's the product of the temperament I've been blessed or cursed with - I'm not sure which. All I know is that the author of these lines (I'm not sure if also of these books) has never had just one personality, and has never thought or felt except dramatically - that is, through invented .. | heteronyms identity | Fernando Pessoa | |
| 1cb675e | His voice was hesitant and colourless, as in those who hope for nothing because it's perfectly useless to hope. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| 963d557 | Let's not even touch life with the tips of our fingers. | Pessoa Fernando | ||
| e0f7e1a | Beside my pain, all other pains seem false or insignificant. They are the pains of happy people or of people who are alive enough to complain. Mine is the pain of someone imprisoned in life, cut off ... | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| 178480c | I've reached the point where tedium is a person, the incarnate fiction of my own company. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| 4c1686b | I have all the conditions for happiness, save happiness. The conditions are detached from one another. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| 5cbea7f | To be great, be entire: Of what is yours nothing exaggerate or exclude Be whole in each thing. Put all that you are Into the least you do | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| 4a3d4f8 | I don't know if I have a fever, as I feel I do, or if I've stopped having the fever of sleeping through life. Yes, I repeat, I'm like a traveller who suddenly finds himself in a strange town, without knowing how he got there, which makes me think of those who lose their memory and for a long time are not themselves but someone else. I was someone else for a long time - since birth and consciousness - and suddenly I've woken up in the middle.. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| af7731e | But everything is absurd, and dreaming least of all. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| 1c07381 | Meu Deus, nao sou muito forte, nao tenho muito alem de uma certa fe - nao sei se em mim, se numa coisa que chamaria de justica-cosmica ou a-coerencia-final-de-todas-as-coisas. Preciso agora da tua mao sobre a minha cabeca. Que eu nao perca a capacidade de amar, de ver, de sentir. Que eu continue alerta. Que, se necessario, eu possa ter novamente o impulso do voo no momento exacto. Que eu nao me perca, que eu nao me fira, que nao me firam, q.. | Caio Fernando Abreu | ||
| f481b3d | Wise is the man who monotonizes his existence, for then each minor incident seems a marvel. | Fernando Pessoa | ||
| f92f912 | They were just little families cooking beans and planting and hunting a deer now and then, and having babies and laying their old folks to rest, not harming anyone, just living...I know that Indians aren't no dirtier than any white folks and cleaner than some. Not stupid, either. But I saved my breath. The likes of her isn't going to listen nor be changed in the mind just from hearing sense. Some people sense is wasted on and that's purely .. | Nancy E. Turner | ||
| 11b0da1 | My life is a tree and I can stay in one place and spread out in all directions, and I can do more learning shading this brood of mine than if I was all alone. I declare, it is like some other part of me made up some rules about happiness and I just went along with them without thinking. My heart is lightened so much that I am amazed at how sad I felt for so long. | Nancy E. Turner | ||
| 2851d14 | At times, it's better to think of exactly what is happening right in front of you every second, rather than going through things from the past in your mind. | Nancy E. Turner | ||
| d5e883d | One thing I know from living with Jack is that war, any war, stains a man deep, and nothing can get the stain out. They can wear clothes like a rancher or a banker, but the stains are under there, never far from the surface of their skin. | Nancy E. Turner | ||
| e0b74bc | I asked Mama was it a sin to do what I done, and she said no, it was the same as David slaying Goliath, it was only to save Ulyssa and the others, not because of meanness that I did it. I would do it again, too. I am not sorry, but this has hurt my heart and spirit more than all the other trials, for being forsaken is worse than being killed. | self-defense | Nancy E. Turner | |
| 8b326e3 | How could I explain to a beautiful lady in a silk dress that when I picked up her baby girl, I felt that lady's long-ago chubby shape in my arms, smelled her sunshine-touched hair? That years and years of tiny memories flitted past my heart like a flock of birds spinning on invisible air? It was the smell of the little girls, slightly wet, somewhat soapy, the smell of porridge supper, and the taste of kissed-away tears. Here in my arms were.. | Nancy E. Turner | ||
| def226c | Udell was an ordinary man, I thought, but a man with an extraordinary way of thinking. That was truly worth more than gold: extraordinary thinking. | mind | Nancy E. Turner | |
| 6b94278 | Reckon women don't think like men." "Why on earth don't they learn how?" I rubbed my face. "Ain't meant to, honey." I smiled and kissed his brow. "It occurs to us to ask the same thing. Keeps the world turning, I suspect." | Nancy E. Turner | ||
| 8c0e069 | My life feels like a book left out on the porch, and the wind blows the pages faster and faster, turning always toward a new chapter faster than I can stop and read it. | Nancy E. Turner | ||
| 44007ad | He plunges into the middle of them and it is a frightening thing. He must be fierce and wicked and brave all at the same time. I'm glad he's on our side. | Nancy E. Turner |
