Fernando Pessoa Quotes
Vem sentar-te comigo, Lídia, à beira do rio.Sossegadamente fitemos o seu curso e aprendamosQue a vida passa, e não estamos de mãos enlaçadas.(Enlacemos as mãos).....Desenlacemos as mãos, porque não vale a pena cansarmo-nos.Quer gozemos, quer não gozemos, passamos como o rio.Mais vale saber passar silenciosamenteE sem desassossegos grandes.
