Fernando Pessoa
“But do my words ring in anyone else’s soul? Does anyone hear them besides me?”
Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

فرناندو بيسوا
“الأحلام مشاع للجميع ، ما يجعلنا متمايزين هو القدرة على تحقيقهن أو قدرة تحققهن فينا .”
فرناندو بيسوا, The Book of Disquiet

Fernando Pessoa
“All effort is pointless, but it passes the time. Reasoning is sterile, but amusing. Loving is tedious, but possibly preferable to not loving.”
Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet: The Complete Edition

Fernando Pessoa
“I don’t know how many souls I have.
I’ve changed at every moment.
I always feel like a stranger.
I’ve never seen or found myself.
From being so much, I have only soul.
A man who has soul has no calm.
A man who sees is just what he sees.
A man who feels is not who he is.

Attentive to what I am and see,
I become them and stop being I.
Each of my dreams and each desire
Belongs to whoever had it, not me.
I am my own landscape,
I watch myself journey -
Various, mobile, and alone.
Here where I am I can’t feel myself.

That’s why I read, as a stranger,
My being as if it were pages.
Not knowing what will come
And forgetting what has passed,
I note in the margin of my reading
What I thought I felt.
Rereading, I wonder: “Was that me?”
God knows, because he wrote it...”
Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

Fernando Pessoa
“I am still obsessed with creating a false world, and will be until I die.”
Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet
