Quotes About Youth

Não sei se é amor que tens, ou amor que finges, O que me dás. Dás-mo. Tanto me basta. Já que o não sou por tempo, Seja eu jovem por erro. Pouco os deuses nos dão, e o pouco é falso. Porém, se o dão, falso que seja, a dádiva É verdadeira. Aceito, Cerro olhos: é bastante. Que mais quero?
~ Fernando Pessoa
Tenemos todos dos vidas: la verdadera, que es la que soñamos en la infancia, y que continuamos soñando, adultos en un sustrato de niebla; la falsa, que es la que vivimos en convivencia con los demás, que es la práctica, la útil, aquella en que terminan por meternos en un cajón.
~ Fernando Pessoa

Cómo sabéis que viajando así no me rejuvenezco oscuramente?

~ Fernando Pessoa

~ Fernando Pessoa
Arroio, esse cantar, jovem e puro, Busca o oceano por achar; E a fala dos pinhais, marulho obscuro, É o som presente desse mar futuro, É a voz da terra ansiando pelo mar.
~ Fernando Pessoa
İlerde bir gün gelecek olanlar daha ÅŸimdiden yaÅŸl?yd?; sadece hiç gelmeyecek olanlar gençti.
~ Fernando Pessoa
To erase everything from the slate from one day to the next, to be new with each new morning, in a perpetual revival of our emotional virginity – this, and only this, is worth being, or having, so as to be or have what we imperfectly are.
~ Fernando Pessoa
Me fshi gjithçka nga dërrasa e zezë e një dite çfarëdo, me qenë i ri në çdo ag të ri, në një virgjni të re të përhershme t'emocionit: kjo dhe veç kjo ia vlen me qenë a me u pasë, për me qenë a me pasë atë që në mënyrë të papërkryeme jemi.
~ Fernando Pessoa
The child is still there but has fallen silent. I see the way I saw, but from behind my eyes I see myself seeing, and that is enough to darken the sun, to make the green of the trees old, and to wilt the flowers before they open.
~ Fernando Pessoa

Zato on i napusti flautu, ushi?ena ose?anja, maštanja - jer svaki buržuj je, u jeku svoje mladosti, makar jedan dan, makar jedan minut, verovao da je sposoban za ogromne strasti, za uzvišene pothvate. Najobi?niji raskalašnik je snevao o sultanijama; svaki beležnik nosi u sebi ostatke nekog pesnika.
