The Book of Disquiet, text 97
by Fernando Pessoa, 1888-1935

The truly wise man is the one who can keep external events from changing him in any way.  To do this, he covers himself with an armour of realities closer to him than the world’s facts and through which the facts, modified accordingly, reach him.

The Inn of Reason
by Fernando Pessoa, 1888-1935

On the road halfway between faith and criticism stands the inn of reason.  Reason is faith in what can be understood without faith, but it’s still a faith, since to understand presupposes that there’s something understandable.

Litany
by Fernando Pessoa, 1888-1935

We never know self-realization.
    We are two abysses — a well staring at the sky.
