" "In the ordinary jumble of my literary drawer, I sometimes find texts I wrote ten, fifteen, or even more years ago. And many of them seem to me written by a stranger: I simply do not recognize myself in them. There was a person who wrote them, and it was I. I experienced them, but it was in another life, from which I just woke up, as if from someone else's dream.

Additional quotes by Fernando Pessoa
Nasce o ideal da nossa consciência da imperfeição da vida. Tantos, portanto, serão os ideais possíveis, quantos forem os modos por que é possível ter a vida por imperfeita. A cada modo de a ter por imperfeita corresponderá, por contraste e semelhança, um conceito de perfeição. É a esse conceito de perfeição que se dá o nome de ideal.
