Your Morning Fernando
For Tuesday, July 8th, 2025
Week 122 of our regular morning feature here at Friedman of the Plains Worldwide in which we highlight the great words and works of great men and women, as well as those who are insufferable, delusional, and even fictional.
This Week Fernando Pessoa
“My soul is impatient with itself, as with a bothersome child; its restlessness keeps growing and is forever the same. Everything interests me, but nothing holds me. I attend to everything, dreaming all the while. […]. I'm two, and both keep their distance — Siamese twins that aren't attached.” — The Book of Disquiet
The Book of Disquiet is a catchy title; who wouldn't pick it up who had an ounce of curiosity? But sheesh, a thought-a-day would be disquieting.
It's how I feel most of the time, like existential dread meets ADHD.
