Additional quotes by Fernando Pessoa

There are dreamed anguishes that are more real
Than the ones life brings us, there are sensations
Felt only by imagining
Which are more ours than our own life is.

Does exist, exists lingeringly
And lingeringly is ours and us…

The sea is fulfilled, and the Empire fell apart. Lord, Portugal must yet fulfill itself!

Being pleased with what they give you is proper of slaves. Asking for more is proper of children. Conquering more is proper of fools.
