Forough Farrokhzad
“I believe in being a poet in all moments of life. Being a poet means being human. I know some poets whose daily behavior has nothing to do with their poetry. In other words, they are only poets when they write poetry. Then it is finished and they turn into greedy, indulgent, oppressive, shortsighted, miserable, and envious people. Well, I cannot believe their poems”
Forough Farrokhzad

Fernando Pessoa
“I sometimes think that I enjoy suffering. But the truth is I would prefer something else.”
Fernando Pessoa

Fernando Pessoa
“My God, my God, whose performance am I watching? How many people am I? Who am I? What is this space between myself and myself?”
Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

“I Go Down To The Shore

I go down to the shore in the morning
and depending on the hour the waves
are rolling in or moving out,
and I say, oh, I am miserable,
what shall—
what should I do? And the sea says
in its lovely voice:
Excuse me, I have work to do.”
Mary Oliver, A Thousand Mornings: Poems

Blaise Pascal
“Anyone who does not see the vanity of the world is very vain himself. So who does not see it, apart from young people whose lives are all noise, diversions, and thoughts for the future?
But take away their diversion and you will see them bored to extinction. Then they feel their nullity without recognizing it, for nothing could be more wretched than to be intolerably depressed as soon as one is reduced to introspection with no means of diversion.”
Blaise Pascal, Pensées
