“Life is an experimental journey

undertaken involuntarily. 

It is a journey of the spirit 

through the material world and, 

since it is the spirit that travels, 

it is the spirit that is experienced. 

That is why there exist contemplative souls 

who have lived more intensely, 

more widely, more tumultuously 

than others who have lived their lives 

purely externally.”

Fernando Pessoa, The Book of Disquiet
