“Let's absurdify life, from east to west.
Let us play hide-and-seek with our consciousness of living.”
― Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

“I never paid any attention to people who told me to go out and live. I belonged always to whatever was far from me and to whatever I could never be. Anything that was not mine, however base, always seemed to me to be full of poetry. The only thing I ever loved was pure nothingness.”
― Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

“…to know how to think with emotions and to feel with intellect…”
― Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet

“Once we're able to see this world as an illusion and a phantasm, then we can see everything that happens to us as a dream, as something that pretended to exist while we were sleeping. And we will become subtly and profoundly indifferent towards all of life's setbacks and calamities. Those who die turned a corner, which is why we've stopped seeing them; those who suffer pass before us like a nightmare, if we feel, or like an unpleasant daydream, if we think. And even our own suffering won't be more than this nothingness.”
― Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet
