Let us sculpt in hopeless silence all our dreams of speaking.

Fernando Pessoa, from ‘The Book of Disquiet’, tr. Richard Zenith

“A cup of coffee, a cigarette and my dreams can substitute quite well for the universe and its stars, for work, love, and even beauty and glory. I need virtually no stimulants. I have opium enough in my soul.”

— Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet
