Iโm beginning to know myself. I donโt exist. Iโm the space between what Iโd like to be and what others made of me. Just let me be at ease and all by myself in my room.
Fernando PessoaWe never love anyone. What we love is the idea we have of someone. It's our own conceptโour own selvesโthat we love.
Fernando PessoaIt's not demons (who at least have a human face) but Hell itself that seems to be laughing inside me, it's the croaking madness of the dead universe, the spinning cadaver of physical space, the end of all worlds blowing blackly in the wind, formless and timeless, without a God who created it, without even its own self, impossibly whirling in the absolute darkness as the one and only reality, everything.
