Fernando Pessoa World Quotations

Wise is he who enjoys the show offered by the world.

The abstract intelligence produces a fatigue that's the worst of all fatigues. It doesn't weigh on us like bodily fatigue, nor disconcert like the fatigue of emotional experience. It's the weight of our consciousness of the world, a shortness of breath in our soul.

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

The world belongs to who doesn't feel. The primary condition to be a practical man is the absence of sensitivity.

I pass times, I pass silences, formless worlds pass me by.

Literature exists because the world isn't enough.

I am nothing. I'll never be anything. I couldn't want to be something. Apart from that, I have in me all the dreams in the world.
