My thought is laid bare like a skeleton, divested of the carnal rags of the illusion of communication.
Fernando Pessoa, tr. by Margaret Jull Costa, from “The Book of Disquiet,” [25/7/1930]

Fernando Pessoa, tr. by Margaret Jull Costa, from “The Book of Disquiet,” [25/7/1930]
Truth always rests with the minority, and the minority is always stronger than the majority, because the minority is generally formed by those who really have an opinion, while the strength of a majority is illusory, formed by the gangs who have no opinion—and who, therefore, in the next instant (when it is evident that the minority is the stronger) assume its opinion … while Truth again reverts to a new minority.
