Fernando Pessoa Believe Quotations

I don't believe in the landscape.

I believe that saying a thing is to keep its virtues and take away its terror.

Have you ever considered, beloved other, how invisible we are to each other? We look at each other without seeing. We listen to each other and hear only a voice inside out self. The words of others are mistakes of our hearing, shipwrecks of our understanding. How confidently we believe OUR meanings of other people's words.

Having never discovered qualities in myself that might attract someone else, I could never believe that anyone felt attracted to me.
