I'm beginning to know myself. I don't exist. I'm the gap between what I'd like to be and what others have made of me, Or half this gap, since there is also life . . . That's me. Period. Turn off the light, shut the door, and get rid of the slipper noise in the hallway. Leave me alone in my room with the vast peace of myself. It's a shoddy universe. Fernando Pessoa. I’m beginning to know myself.I don’t exist. I’m the gap between what I’d like to be and what others have made of me, Or half this gap,since there is also life… That’s me .Period. Turn off the light,shut the door,and get rid of the slipper noise in the hallway. Leave me alone in my room with the vast peace of myself. It’s shoddy universe. Fernando Pessoa God is a huge Interval, But between what and what? . . . Between my speech and speechlessness, Do I exist? Who is it sees me?
