Additional quotes by Fernando Pessoa

I'm going to end a life that I thought could contain every kind of greatness but that in fact consisted only of my incapacity to really want to be great. Whenever I arrived at a certainty, I remembered that those with the greatest certainties are lunatics.

Se te queres matar, porque não te queres matar?
Ah, aproveita! que eu, que tanto amo a morte e a vida,
Se ousasse matar-me, também me mataria...
Ah, se ousares, ousa!

Original: Quem quer passar além do Bojador Tem que passar além da dor.
