Fernando Pessoa

Fernando Pessoa by this is your brain on lithium.
The Book of Disquiet by Fernando Pessoa, trans. and ed. by Richard Zenith. One of my moleskines is my reading companion. I've copied some quotes into it from Fernando Pessoa's The Book of Disquiet, which I am currently reading in a very non-sequential way.

It's serendipity! Maybe you should check out Umberto Eco's Serentipities.

I simple adore your quatation on Pessoa from your journal/blogg ..
My New Hero: Fernando Pessoa
From The Book of Disquiet:

"All literature is an attempt to make life real. As all of us know, life is absolutely unreal in its directly real form; the country, the city and all of our ideas are all absolutely fictitious things, the offspring of our complex sensation of our own selves. Impressions are incommunicable unless we make them literary."

thank you for posting about Pessoa and your inspirational work.

But it is so true. It is certainly why I write. My blog is somewhat new, but I have kept journals for more than 15 years now.

Thank you for reading and commenting on my blog.
