"We are animals...the metaphor is simple...related to how we are used. And thereby use ourselves.
These are old wake up calls.never listened to."

Fernando Pessoa
“But I am not perfect in my way of putting things
Because I lack the divine simplicity
Of being only what I appear to be.”
Fernando Pessoa, Poems of Fernando Pessoa

Fernando Pessoa
“I've always rejected being understood. To be understood is to prostitute oneself. I prefer to be taken seriously for what I'm not, remaining humanly unknown, with naturalness and all due respect”
Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

Fernando Pessoa
“Literature is the most agreeable way of ignoring life.”
Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

Fernando Pessoa
“The value of things is not the time they last, but the intensity with which they occur. That is why there are unforgettable moments and unique people!”
Fernando Pessoa

Fernando Pessoa
“I'm astounded whenever I finish something. Astounded and distressed. My perfectionist instinct should inhibit me from finishing: it should inhibit me from even beginning. But I get distracted and start doing something. What I achieve is not the product of an act of my will but of my will's surrender. I begin because I don't have the strength to think; I finish because I don't have the courage to quit. This book is my cowardice.”
Fernando Pessoa
