"I have a superficial, decorative concept of deep love and its useful employment. I am subject to visual passions. I keep whole a heart given over to unreal destinies."
--The Book of Disquiet, Fernando Pessoa
"I enjoy using words. Or rather: I enjoy making words work. For me words are tangible bodies, visible sirens, sensualities made flesh. Perhaps because real sensuality has no interest for me whatsoever--not even in thoughts or dreams--desire has become transmuted into the part of me that creates verbal rhythms or hears them in other people's speech. I tremble if I hear someone speak well."
--The Book of Disquiet, Fernando Pessoa
It's really sort of devastating and wonderful both at once that I find expressions of my deep secret inner soul on nearly every single page of this book. Wonderful because, well, obviously such a thing is wonderful. Devastating because it's such a nihilistic and depressing text -- not always, but often.
