The human soul is an abyss
Fernando Pessoa
All letters of love are Ridiculous. They wouldn’t be love letters if they were not Ridiculous.
Fernando Pessoa
Children are particularly literary, for they say what they feel not what someone has taught them to feel.
Fernando Pessoa
There's a non-existent peace in the uncertain quietness
Fernando Pessoa
Is it that my habit of placing myself in the souls of other people makes me see myself as others see or would see me if they noticed my presence there? It is. And once I've perceived what they would feel about me if they knew me, it is as if they were feeling and expressing it at that very moment. It is a torture to me to live with other people. Then there are those who live inside me. Even when removed from life, I'm forced to live with them. Alone, I am hemmed in by multitudes. I have nowhere to flee to, unless I were to flee myself.
Fernando Pessoa
