A few quotes from Fernando Pessoa’s “The Book of Disquiet”.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

“I am at one of those points, and I write these lines as if to prove that I’m at least alive.”

…

“My past is everything I failed to be.”

…

“I cultivate hatred of action like a greenhouse flower. I dissent from life and am proud of it.”

“I am at one of those points, and I write these lines as if to prove that I’m at least alive.”

yes, i have filled journals with words which can attest to this, whether i will ever revisit them i have no idea..

“My past is everything I failed to be.”

yes, i can relate to that

But I take it you are more of a man of action.

and yourself?

I am rather Pessoan even in that. After getting knocked on my ass a few dozen times, I thought it natural to just let the horse go on by itself.
