"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
“There are metaphors more real than the people who walk in the street. There are images tucked away in books that live more vividly than many men and women. There are phrases from literary works that have a positively human personality. There are passages from my own writing that chill me with fright, so distinctly do I feel them as people, so sharply outlined do they appear against the walls of my room, at night, in shadows... I've written sentences whose sound, read out loud or silently (impossible to hide their sound), can only be of something that acquired absolute exteriority and a full-fledged soul.”
Pessoa, Fernando, The Book of Disquiet

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
“Everything around me is evaporating. My whole life, my memories, my imagination and its contents, my personality - it's all evaporating. I continuously feel that I was someone else, that I felt something else, that I thought something else. What I'm attending here is a show with another set. And the show I'm attending is myself.”
Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

Fernando Pessoa
“We all have two lives: The true, the one we dreamed of in childhood And go on dreaming of as adults in a substratum of mist; the false, the one we love when we live with others, the practical, the useful, the one we end up by being put in a coffin.”
Fernando Pessoa

Fernando Pessoa
“My soul is impatient with itself, as with a bothersome child; its restlessness keeps growing and is forever the same. Everything interests me, but nothing holds me. I attend to everything, dreaming all the while. […]. I'm two, and both keep their distance — Siamese twins that aren't attached.”
Fernando Pessoa , The Book of Disquiet
