— Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet
"I’m having a day in which the monotony of everything weighs on me like going to jail. The monotony of everything is, nevertheless, nothing more than the monotony in me. Every face, even if it’s one we saw yesterday, is different today, since today is not yesterday. Every day is the day it is, and there was never another exactly the same in the world. (…) The world is things noticed and angles that are different; but if we are nearsighted, the world is an insufficient, continuous fog."
