“FIRST WATCHER Why do people die?
SECOND WATCHER Perhaps because they don't dream enough...”
― Fernando Pessoa, The Selected Prose of Fernando Pessoa

“I Know, I Alone

I know, I alone
How much it hurts, this heart
With no faith nor law
Nor melody nor thought.

Only I, only I
And none of this can I say
Because feeling is like the sky -
Seen, nothing in it to see.”
― Fernando Pessoa

“Without madness what is man
But a wholesome beast,
Postponed corpse that begets?”
― Fernando Pessoa, Poems of Fernando Pessoa

“But my sadness is comforting
Because it’s right and natural
And because it’s what the soul should feel
When it already thinks it exists
And the hand pick flowers
And the soul takes no notice.”
― fernando pessoa
