"I shall not exist if you do not imagine me."
"Frustrated, humming with your head under the pillow, like the end of a day where you feel nothing has been achieved and you’re in a hurry to get things over with so you can start the next one. You tell yourself tomorrow you’re going to do lots of positive things. But the next day is just like the one before. Sometimes it goes on for weeks."

"I am sitting on my bed staring out the open window, as I often do, and every time the wind blows it carries with it the most enchanting scent… The smell of rain-kissed earth, of lilacs, of newborn leaves, of flower petals of all kinds, of serenity, of you… This is spring in all her glory."
"I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair. Silent and starving, I prowl through the streets. Bread does not nourish me, dawn disrupts me, all day I hunt for the liquid measure of your steps."

"She was ready to deny the existence of space and time rather than admit that love might not be eternal."
"Of course my jokes are in poor taste, inappropriate, and confused; they reveal my lack of security. But that is because I have no respect for myself."
"those faces you see every day on
the streets were not created
entirely without hope: be kind to
them: like you they have not escaped."
"Clouds … I exist unconsciously and I’ll die unwillingly. I am the interval between what I am and what I am not, between what I dream and what life has made for me, the abstract, carnal halfway-house between things, like myself, that are nothing. Clouds …"
-Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet
"The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because it’s only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think. The way they see themselves. The way they see the world. You can change the way people live their lives. That’s the only lasting thing you can create."
"Why should I fear death? If I am, death is not. If death is, I am not. Why should I fear that which can only exist when I do not?"
