Fernando Pessoa quote #111 from The Book of Disquiet

I had come from wondrous lands from landscapes more enchanting than life but only to myself did I ever mention these lands and I said nothing about the landscapes which I saw in dreams. My feet stepped like theirs over the floorboards and the flagstones but my heart was far away even if it beat close by false master of an estranged and exiled body.

William Shakespeare famous quote #113

Our revels now are ended. These our actorsAs I foretold you were all spirits andAre melted into air into thin airAnd like the baseless fabric of this visionThe cloud-cappd towrs the gorgeous palacesThe solemn temples the great glove itselfYea all which it inherit shall dissolveAnd like this insubstantial pageant faded Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuffAs dreams are made on and our little lifeIs rounded with a sleep.

Teresa of Ávila quote #498 from The Life of Saint Teresa of Ávila by Herself

...aconsejara yo a los que tienen oracin en especial al principio procuren amistad y trato con otras personas que traten de lo mismo. Es cosa importantsima aunque no sea sino ayudarse unos a otros con sus oraciones cunto ms que hay muchas ms ganancias Y no s yo por qu no se ha de permitir que quien comenzare de veras a amar a Dios y a servirle deje de tratar con algunas personas sus placeres y trabajos que de todo tienen los que tienen oracin.
