Out of a few misunderstandings with reality we construct beliefs and hopes, and we live… — Fernando Pessoa
Out of a few misunderstandings with reality we construct beliefs and hopes, and we live on these crusts, which we call bread, just like poor children who play at being happy.
In the original Portuguese
Com pequenos mal-entendidos com a realidade construimos as crencas e as esperancas, e vivemos de codeas a que chamomos bolos, como as criancas pobres que brincame a ser felizes.
