Man shouldn't be able to see his own face. That's what's most terrible. Nature gave him the possibility of not seeing it, as well as the incapacity of not seeing his own eyes.

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!
