More quotes by Fernando Pessoa
Every man who deserves to be famous knows it is not worth the trouble.
Was it worthwhile?
Everything is worthwhile
if the soul is not small.
Ah, to be you while being I!
To have your glad unconsciousness
And be conscious of it!

Curiosity is one of the permanent and certain characteristics of a vigorous intellect.
My brain, otherwise a sound instrument, has a serious defect—a hypertrophied lobe of curiosity.
