"今日感じたことが昨日感じたことと同じであることは、感じることではありません。それは今日昨日感じたことを思い出し、昨日生きて失われたものの今日の生ける屍であるということです。"
— Fernando Pessoa
Simplified Meaning:
When you try to feel the same way today as you did yesterday, you are not actually feeling it again; you are just remembering the feelings from yesterday. This turns you into something like a living memory of what has already happened and is gone.
