Quote by Fernando Pessoa

“When I was little I didn’t know I’d grow up. Or I knew but didn’t feel it. Time at that age doesn’t exist. Each day it’s the same kitchen table With the same backyard outside, And sadness, when felt, Is sadness, but you aren’t sad.”

“When someone steals another person’s ideas, it does not speak to the value of what was stolen, but to the emptiness of the one who steals. A true mind creates; it does not copy. Originality cannot be taken from another — it is born of thought, vision, and the courage to be oneself. Ideas can be taken, but the mind that created them — never.”

“I am a ghost town, my body still exists among the remnants and relics, but no one lives here anymore. The locals moved out with the post office. The shelves at the corner store stand as tombstones marking the prices of items that once waited for hands to toss them in their basket. Spiders and the remains of their kills fill the fluorescent lights. The crows don’t even stop on the wires when they fly over.”
