Ibid., pp. 133, 262 | Note: This has been attributed to Pessoa. Indeed, it is from Plutarch's "Parallel Lives", about Pompeus, when demanding that soldiers board the ships, when they were afraid of dying at sea.
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!
