Additional quotes by Fernando Pessoa

Oh, the continual drunken diversity of flights and departures!
Eternal soul of navigators and their navigations!

Every spoken word double-crosses us. The only tolerable form of communication is the written word, since it isn't a stone in a bridge between souls but a ray of light between stars.

My soul is a black maelstrom, a great madness spinning about a vacuum, the swirling of a vast ocean around a hole in the void, and in the waters, more like whirlwinds than waters, float images of all I ever saw or heard in the world: houses, faces, books, boxes, snatches of music and fragments of voices, all caught up in a sinister, bottomless whirlpool.

His livid face is a bewildered false green. I notice it, between the chest's hard air, with the fraternity of knowing I will also be so. - Fernando Pessoa
