Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935) is one of the most famous Portuguese writers and aestheticians of the 20 th century, widely read in several languages and more frequently studied nowadays. Through his literary legacy, by analyzing some of his texts written with undeniable mastery and beauty in the use of language, a glimpse of his most intimate reality can be perceived in his treatment of themes evolving around truth, love, will, and ethics. This work gathers some of the ideas of a man whose existence seemed to be marked by the sadness of being unable to find the sense of his own life which, in turn, becomes a reference for displaying all the dimensions of his being.
