Additional quotes by Fernando Pessoa
I have a very simple morality: not to do good or evil to anyone. Not to do evil, because it seems only fair that others enjoy the same right I demand for myself – not to be disturbed – and also because I think that the world doesn't need more than the natural evils it already has. All of us in this world are living on board a ship that is sailing from one unknown port to another, and we should treat each other with a traveller's cordiality. Not to do good, because I don't know what good is, nor even if I do it when I think I do. How do I know what evils I generate if I give a beggar money? How do I know what evils I produce if I teach or instruct? Not knowing, I refrain. And besides, I think that to help or clarify is, in a certain way, to commit the evil of interfering in the lives of others. Kindness depends on a whim of our mood, and we have no right to make others the victims of our whims, however humane or kind-hearted they may be. Good deeds are impositions; that's why I categorically abhor them.

Permanezcamos así eternamente, como la estampa de un hombre en un vitral frente a la de una mujer en otro vitral....Entre nosotros, sombras cuyos pasos suenan fríos, son de la humanidad que pasa....Murmullos de plegarias, secretos de (....) pasaran entre nosotros.....A veces el aire se puebla de (.....) de inciensos. Y nosotros siempre en los mismos vitrales, en los colores que el sol nos dará al tocarnos, en las líneas impuestas por la noche al caer...Los siglos no incidirán en nuestro silencio vítreo....Fuera de nosotros pasaran civilizaciones, estallaran revueltas, se sucederán en torbellino las fiestas, pasaran, mansos, pueblos de sólida rutina...Y nosotros, oh, amor mío irreal, tendremos siempre el mismo gesto inútil, la misma existencia falsa.
Hasta que un día, al cabo de varios siglos de imperios, la Iglesia se derrumbe y todo se acabe....
Pero nosotros, que de todo eso nada sabemos, perduraremos sin embargo, no se en que espacio, no se cómo, no se cuánto tiempo, vitrales eternos, horas de ingenuo diseño pintado por un artista cualquiera que duerme hace mucho tiempo bajo una tumba goda donde dos ángeles congelan en sus manos de mármol la idea de la muerte.
