One of my friend recommended me to read this book, and I fall in love with some of his quotes from this book. Thanks to Fernando Pessoa and my friend..
“We never love anyone. What we love is the idea we have of someone. It's our own concept—our own selves—that we love.”
“The feelings that hurt most, the emotions that sting most, are those that are absurd - The longing for impossible things, precisely because they are impossible; nostalgia for what never was; the desire for what could have been; regret over not being someone else; dissatisfaction with the world’s existence. All these half-tones of the soul’s consciousness create in us a painful landscape, an eternal sunset of what we are.”
“I've never done anything but dream. This, and this alone, has been the meaning of my life. My only real concern has been my inner life.”
“We all have two lives: The true, the one we dreamed of in childhood And go on dreaming of as adults in a substratum of mist; the false, the one we love when we live with others, the practical, the useful, the one we end up by being put in a coffin.”
“The essence of what I desire is simply this: to sleep away life.”
