Francisco Lima

“Thinking is still a form of acting. Only in sheer reverie, where nothing active intervenes and even our self-awareness gets stuck in the mud – only there, in this warm and damp state of non-being, can total renunciation of action be achieved.
To stop trying to understand, to stop analysing… To see ourselves as we see nature, to view our impressions as we view a field – that is true wisdom.”
― Fernando Pessoa

“Three films a day, three books a week and records of great music would be enough to make me happy to the day I die.”
― François Truffaut

“Is it possible that existence is our exile and nothingness our home?”
― Emil Cioran, Tears and Saints

“People do not die for us immediately, but remain bathed in a sort of aura of life which bears no relation to true immortality but through which they continue to occupy our thoughts in the same way as when they were alive. It is as though they were traveling abroad.”
― Marcel Proust
