Myth is the nothing that is everything.

— Fernando Pessoa

Clear in thinking, and clear in feeling, and clear in wanting

All beginnings are involuntary.

Começo a conhecer-me. Não existo. Sou o intervalo entre o que desejo ser e os outros me fizeram.

Against destiny I fulfilled my duty . Uselessly? No, for I fulfilled it.

The Gods sell when they give. Glory is paid for with disgrace. Poor are the happy, for they are Just what passes.

Faithful to the word given and the idea had. All else is up to God!
