Additional quotes by Fernando Pessoa

...Queen, goodbye forever!
Your wings were sunbeams, and my feet are clay
I'll never be well if I don't get to bed
I never was well unless I was stretched out across the universe.

Tedium is the lack of a mithology. To whom has no beliefs, even doubt is impossible, even skepticism has no strength to suspect.

But I am not perfect in my way of putting things
Because I lack the divine simplicity
Of being only what I appear to be.
