Quotes about: Literature

• Literature is the most agreeable way of ignoring life.

  Fernando Pessoa

  Life, Art, Solitude

  Fernando Pessoa (1988). “Numbers: 4”

• My hapless peers with their lofty dreams--how I envy and despise them! I'm with the others, the even more hapless, who have no-one but themselves to whom they can tell their dreams and show what would be verses if they wrote them. I'm with those poor slobs who have no books to show, who have no literature beside their own soul, and who are suffocating to death due to the fact that they exist without having taken that mysterious, transcendental exam that makes one eligible to live.

  Fernando Pessoa

  Dream, Book, Taken

• Literature exists because the world isn't enough.

  Fernando Pessoa
