To say! to know how to say! to know how to exist via the written voice and the intellectual image! this is all that matters in life; the rest is men and women, imagined loves and factitious vanities, the wiles of our digestion and forgetfulness, people squirming — like worms when a rock is lifted — under the huge abstract boulder of the meaningless blue sky.

To Say! To Know How To Say!

Fernando Pessoa

To say! to know how to say! to know how to exist via the written voice and the intellectual image! this is all that matters in life; the rest is men and women, imagined loves and factitious vanities, the wiles of our digestion and forgetfulness, people squirming — like worms when a rock is lifted — under the huge abstract boulder of the meaningless blue sky.

More From Fernando Pessoa

We walked on the beach, fed blue corn ships to the seagulls, and munched on blue jelly beans, blue saltwater taffy and all the other free samples my mom brought home from work. i guess i should explain the blue food. see, gabe had once told my mom there was no such thing. they had this fight, which seemed like a really small thing at the time. but ever since, my mom went out of her way to eat blue. she baked blue birthday cakes. she mixed blueberry smoothies. she bought blue-corn tortilla chips and brought home blue candy from the shop.

I turn and i look back across the lake. the mist is gone and the ice diminished, the drip of the icicles quick and heavy. the sun is up and the sky is blue empty blue light blue clear blue. i would drink the sky if i could drink it, drink it and celebrate it and let it fill me and become me. i am getting better. empty and clear and light and blue. i am getting better.

I like "rock, paper, scissors two-thirds." you know. "rock breaks scissors." "these scissors are bent. they're destroyed. i can't cut stuff. so i lose." "scissors cuts paper." "these are strips. this is not even paper. it's gonna take me forever to put this back together." "paper covers rock." "rock is fine. no structural damage to rock. rock can break through paper at any point. just say the word. paper sucks." there should be "rock, dynamite with a cutable wick, scissors."

Just me, just me sweet marie, she loves just me (she also loves maurice mcghee). no she don't, she loves just me (she also loves louise dupree). no she don't, she loves just me (she also loves the willow tree). no she don't, she loves just me! (poor, poor fool, why can't you see she can love others and still love thee.)

Blue is the insides of something mysterious and lonely. i'd look at fish and birds, thinking the sky and water colored them. the first abyss is blue. an artist must go beyond the mercy of satin or water-from a gutty hue to that which is close to royal purple. all seasons and blossoms inbetween. lavender. theatrical and outrageous electric. almost gray. true and false blue. water and oil. the gas jet breathing in oblivion. the unstruck match. the blue of absence. the blue of deep presence. the insides of something perfect.

Since we all came from a women, got our name from a women, and our game from a women. i wonder why we take from women, why we rape our women, do we hate our women? i think its time we killed for our women, be real to our women, try to heal our women, cus if we dont we'll have a race of babies that will hate the ladies, who make the babies. and since a man can't make one he has no right to tell a women when and where to create one

Similar Quotes

If you want something to play with go find yourself a toy, baby, my time is too expensive and i'm not a little boy.

I've always been quite mature because of the way my parents brought me up. they were very good at talking to me like a person rather than a baby, and i was around so many actors and directors from such a young age because my dad is an actor. i was more comfortable with adults rather than actually being an adult child.

If the baby is sick, you won't find me showing up to play my gigs. if i have a contract, there is going to be a clause in that contract saying that if the baby is sick i will not appear.

Yeah, baby! i didn't get to keep the pink baby doll outfit, but i wish i did because people are always telling me i should wear it.
