Quote by Fernando Pessoa

“With merely a kind of smile in my soul, I passively consider the definitive confinement of my life to the Rua dos Douradores, to this office, to the people who surround me. An income sufficient for food and drink, a roof over my head, and a little free time in which to dream and write, to sleep--what more can I ask of the Gods or expect from Destiny?”
