Additional quotes by Fernando Pessoa

Original: Gostava de estar no campo para poder gostar de estar na cidade.

If you cannot live alone, you were born a slave.

Mi espíritu está todo hecho de vacilación y duda. Nada, para mí, es o no puede ser positivo; todo oscila a mí alrededor, y yo con ello; sólo soy incertidumbre. Todo es para mí incoherencia y cambio. Todo es misterio y todo es significante. Cada cosa es un símbolo «desconocido» de lo Desconocido.
