Additional quotes by Fernando Pessoa

Isolation has carved me in its image and likeness.

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.

Original: Gostava de estar no campo para poder gostar de estar na cidade.
