The Book of Disquiet feels like a diary written by every soul that ever stared too long into silence. Pessoa captures the ache of existence through fragments that shimmer between dream and confession.
Each line is an act of quiet rebellion against meaning itself — a whisper reminding us that to feel deeply is its own form of philosophy.
I return to this book whenever I need to remember that solitude can be fertile, and melancholy can be luminous.
