“Have you ever considered, beloved Other, how invisible we all are to each other? Have you ever thought about how little we know each other? We look at each other without seeing. We listen to each other and hear only a voice inside ourself. The words of others are mistakes of our hearing, shipwrecks of our understanding. How confidently we believe in our meanings of other people’s words. We hear death in words they speak to express sensual bliss. We read sensuality and life in words they drop from their lips without the slightest intention of being profound. The voice of brooks that you interpret, pure explicator … The voice of trees whose rustling means what we say it means … Ah, my unknown love, this is all just us and our fantasies, all ash, trickling down the bars of our cell!

Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet (via heteroglossia)

“When you stand before God, and you know and he knows, you have nothing to offer, and He still loves you the same, it really makes you more grateful and humble. It’s hard, I know, believe or even accept a love that does not ask us anything. And people sometimes spend a lifetime believing that true love can never be found, when in fact, it is closer than they dare to believe. We are loved, and it is demonstrated everyday, in every sunset, in the rainy afternoon, in the starry night or in the death of a beloved son.”
