Additional quotes by Fernando Pessoa

لقد اعتدت أن أحلم كثيرا.. لقد تعبتُ من الحلم..لكنني لم أتعب..لا أحد يتعب من الحلم ..لإن أن تحلم ..هو أن تنسى..و النسيان لا يكلِّفنا شيئا ..إنه النوم الخالي من الأحلام ذلك الذي يحدث ونحن مستيقظون ..لكن في أحلامي.. لقد حققت كل شئ!

Original: Não há felicidade senão com conhecimento. Mas o conhecimento da felicidade é infeliz; porque conhecer-se feliz é conhecer-se passando pela felicidade, e tendo, logo já, que deixá-la atrás. Saber é matar, na felicidade como em tudo. Não saber, porém, é não existir.
