More From Fernando Pessoa

For paradise we long. for perfection we were made...this longing is the source of the hunger and dissatisfaction that mark our lives...this longing makes our loves and friendships possible, and so very unsatisfactory. the hunger is for...nothing less than perfect communion with the...one in whom all the fragments of our scattered existence come together...we must not stifle this longing. it is a holy dissatisfaction. such dissatisfaction is not a sickness to be healed, but the seed of a promise to be fulfilled...the only death to fear is the death of settling for something less.
Perfect Long Promise
All the women of this fevered night, all that i had danced with, all whom i had kindled or who have kindled me, all whom i had courted, all who had clung to me with longing, all whom i had followed with enraptured eyes were melted together and had become one, the one whom i held in my arms.
Eye Night Together
The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing — to reach the mountain, to find the place where all the beauty came from — my country, the place where i ought to have been born. do you think it all meant nothing, all the longing? the longing for home? for indeed it now feels not like going, but like going back.
Country Home Thinking
Because god is not only infinitely greater and more excellent than all other being, but he is the head of the universal system of existence; the foundation and fountain of all being and all beauty; from whom all is perfectly derived, and on whom all is most absolutely and perfectly dependent; of whom, and through whom, and to whom is all being and all perfection; and whose being and beauty are, as it were, the sum and comprehension of all existence and excellence: much more than the sun is the fountain and summary comprehension of all the light and brightness of the day.
Light Perfection Excellence
Whatever success i have achieved, whatever positions of leadership i have held have depended less on ivy league degrees or sat scores or gpas and have instead been due to that sense of connection and empathy, the special obligation i felt as a black man like you to help those who need it most, people who didn't have the opportunities that i had because there, but for the grace of god go i. i might have been in their shoes. i might have been in prison. i might have been unemployed. i might not have been able to support a family. and that motivates me.
Opportunity Men Gpa
The soul must long for god in order to be set aflame by god's love; but if the soul cannot yet feel the longing, then it must long for the longing. to long for the longing is also from god.

Similar Quotes
Life in the world... was nothing more than a system of atavistic contracts, banal ceremonies, preordained words, with which people entertained each other in society in order not to commit murder. the dominant sign in that paradise of provincial frivolity was fear of the unknown.
Order People World
I know from experience that to one who thinks much and feels deeply, it often seems that he has only to put down his thoughts and feelings in order to produce something altogether out of the common; yet as soon as he sets to work he falls into a certain mannerism of style and common phraseology; his thoughts do not come spontaneously, and one might almost say that it is not the mind that directs the pen, but the pen leads the mind into common, empty artificiality.
Fall Thinking Order
In my youth i stressed freedom, and in my old age i stress order. i have made the great discovery that liberty is a product of order.
Stress Discovery Order
I need the kind of help that comes with a side order of help.
