Ego, Feelings, Mines
"The Book of Disquiet". Book by Fernando Pessoa (1982). Translated by Richard Zenith, p. 156, 2006.

A being who, as I grew older, lost imagination, emotion, a type of intelligence, a way of feeling things - all that which, while it made me sorry, did not horrify me. But what am I experiencing when I read myself as if I were someone else? On which bank am I standing if I see myself in the depths?

Fernando Pessoa
Sorry, Imagination, Feelings

To live is to be someone else. Feeling is impossible if we feel today as we felt yesterday: to feel today the same thing we felt yesterday is not to feel at all--it's merely to remember today what we felt yesterday, since today we are the living cadaver of yesterday's lost life.

Fernando Pessoa
Yesterday, Feelings, Today
