More from Pessoa's Book of Disquiet.
I believe that the present is very ancient simply because everything, when it did exist, existed in the present.Text 183
Freedom is the possibility of isolation. You are only free if you can withdraw from men and feel no need to seek them out for money, or society, or love, or glory, or even curiosity, for none of these things flourish in silence and solitude. If you cannot live alone, then you were born a slave.Text 204
