Fernando Pessoa Quotes
The Fundamental Error Of Romanticism Is To Confuse What We Need With What We Desire. We All Need Certain Basic Things For Life's Preservation And Continuance; We All Desire A More Perfect Life, Complete Happiness, The Fulfilment Of Our Dreams And ... ..
It's Human To Want What We Need, And It's Human To Desire What We Don't Need But Find Desirable.

The Romantic Malady Is To Want The Moon As If It Could Actually Be Obtained.
