Quotes about: Life

• Literature is the most agreeable way of ignoring life.

  Fernando Pessoa

  Life, Art, Solitude

  Fernando Pessoa (1988). “Numbers: 4”

• I suffer from life and from other people. I can’t look at reality face to face. Even the sun discourages and depresses me. Only at night and all alone, withdrawn, forgotten and lost, with no connection to anything real or useful — only then do I find myself and feel comforted.

  Fernando Pessoa

  Life, Depressing, Real

  Fernando Pessoa (2002). “The Book of Disquiet”, p.390, Penguin UK

• Nostalgia! I feel it even for someone who meant nothing to me, out of anxiety for the flight of time and a sickness bred of the mystery of life. If one of the faces I pass daily on the streets disappears, I feel sad; yet they meant nothing to me, other than being a symbol of all life.

  Fernando Pessoa

  Life, Time, Sadness

  Fernando Pessoa (2010). “The Book of Disquiet”, p.6, Profile Books
