Being a Human Being
Em A Cismar..., Words of the day em 19 de Janeiro de 2012 às 4:36 PM
“The human being stands as the only being that exists with the awareness of its own existence. Human beings live all phenomena, life cycles and realities that constitute their existence on planet earth intuitively while testing them through consciousness. Against its awareness of its end the human being is a creature devoted to life.”

Álvaro de Campos - Livro de Versos . Fernando Pessoa.
(Edição crítica. Introdução, transcrição, organização e notas de Teresa Rita Lopes.) Lisboa: Estampa, 1993. - 42.
Álvaro de Campos‘s work appeared in Lisbon magazines between 1915 and 1935. Remembered mostly for his poetry, in his own day he was also celebrated—and maligned—for his scathing manifestos, outrageous remarks in interviews, and polemical essays, several of which sharply criticized the opinions of his creator,Fernando Pessoa (1888–1935), Portugal’s greatest modernist writer.

John Steinbeck
“It has always seemed strange to me that things we admire in men — kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding, and feeling — are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest — sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism, and self-interest — are the traits of success.
And while men admire the quality of the first, they love the produce of the second.”
(John Steinbeck, «Cannery Row» published in 1945)
