Additional quotes by Fernando Pessoa

Escravos cardíacos das estrelas,
Conquistámos todo o mundo antes de nos levantar da cama;
Mas acordámos e ele é opaco,
Levantámo-nos e ele é alheio,
Saímos de casa e ele é a terra inteira,
Mais o sistema solar e a Via Láctea e o Indefinido.

أغتاظ. أرغب في فهم كل شيء، معرفة كل شيء، إكمال كل شيء، قول كل شيء، التمتع بكل شيء، التألم من كل شيء، نعم، التألم من كل شيء.
لكن لا شيء من هذا كله، لا شيء. أنهكتني فكرة ما أرغب في الحصول عليه، ما أستطيعه، ما أحسه. حياتي حلم كبير.
