To be great, be whole;Exclude nothing, exaggerate nothing th... - Fernando Pessoa, Poems of Fernando Pessoa

"Lord, may the pain be ours, And the weakness that it brings, But at least give us the strength, Of not showing it to anyone!"

"To be great, be whole;Exclude nothing, exaggerate nothing that is not you.Be whole in everything. Put all you areInto the smallest thing you do.So, in each lake, the moon shines with splendorBecause it blooms up above."

"If after I die, people want to write my biography, there is nothing simpler. They only need two dates: the date of my birth and the date of my death. Between one and another, every day is mine."
