Life Quotes Quote by Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Life is an experimental journey undertaken involuntarily. It is a journey of the spirit through the material world and, since it is the spirit that travels, it is the spirit that is experienced. That is why there exist contemplative souls who have lived more intensely, more widely, more tumultuously than others who have lived their lives purely externally.”

“There are ships sailing to many ports, but not a single one goes where life is not painful.”

“If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change.”

“Just because life is hard, and always ends in a bad way, doesn't mean that all stories have to, even if that's what they tell us in school and in the New York Times Review. In fact, it's a good thing that stories are as different as we are, one from another.”

“Imagine being sentient but not alive. Seeing and even knowing, but not alive. Just looking out. Recognizing but not being alive. A person can die and still go on. Sometimes what looks out at you from a person's eyes maybe died back in childhood.”

“You can't have living without dying. So you can't call it living, what we got. We just are, we just be, like rocks beside the road.”

“ما تبحث عنه يبحث عنك”

“Happiness was but the occasional episode in a general drama of pain.”
