Fernando Pessoa Quote
I don’t know how many souls I have.I’ve changed at every moment.I always feel like a stranger.I’ve never seen or found myself.From being so much, I have only soul.A man who has soul has no calm.A man who sees is just what he sees.A man who feels is not who he is.Attentive to what I am and see,I become them and stop being I.Each of my dreams and each desireBelongs to whoever had it, not me.I am my own landscape,I watch myself journey -Various, mobile, and alone. Here where I am I can’t feel myself.That’s why I read, as a stranger,My being as if it were pages.Not knowing what will comeAnd forgetting what has passed,I note in the margin of my reading What I thought I felt. Rereading, I wonder: Was that me?God knows, because he wrote it...
