“يُضايقني فراغ مُطلق مِنْ أخوَّةٍ ومودة. حتّى الذين يوجدون بالقرب مني غير موجودين إنني محاط بأصدقاء لَيسُوا أصدقائي وبمعارف لا يعرفونني.
أشعر ببرد في الروح لا أعرف كيف أحمي ذاتي ولا يوجد غطاءٌ ولا رداء لتدفئة برد الروح. من لا يُحسُّ لايَنسى. أَهَذَا معناه أنني لا أملك أصدقاء حقيقيين ؟ لا لدي أصدقاء؛ لكنهُم ليسوا أصدقائي الحقيقيين. ثمة منهم من حَظوا بِمَس من المتعالي ومن يؤلمهم
كل شيء بسبب بَرد سحيق يتعذر وصفه.”
― فرناندو بيسوا, يوميات

“رجل فاضل من يجده؟ يرى قوة المرأة فلا يهتز عرشه بل يفرح، ويرى ضعفها فيزداد احترامه لها ويعانق إنسانيته فيها.”

“Always remember you matter, you're important and you are loved, and you bring to this world things no one else can.”
