“Transeuntes eternos por nós mesmos, não há paisagem senão o que somos. Nada possuímos, porque nem a nós possuímos. Nada temos porque nada somos. Que mãos estenderei para que universo? O universo não é meu: sou eu.”
― Fernando Pessoa (Bernardo Soares)

“Repudiei sempre que me compreendessem. Ser compreendido é prostituir-se.”
― Bernardo Soares, Livro do Desassossego

“Theories are nets cast to catch what we call 'the world': to rationalize, to explain, and to master it. We endeavor to make the mesh ever finer and finer.”
― Karl Popper

“Dear Milena,
I wish the world were ending tomorrow. Then I could take the next train, arrive at your doorstep in Vienna, and say: “Come with me, Milena. We are going to love each other without scruples or fear or restraint. Because the world is ending tomorrow.” Perhaps we don’t love unreasonably because we think we have time, or have to reckon with time. But what if we don't have time? Or what if time, as we know it, is irrelevant? Ah, if only the world were ending tomorrow. We could help each other very much.”
― Franz Kafka, Letters to Milena
