“Life is an experimental journey undertaken involuntarily. It is a journey of the spirit through the material world and since this spirit knows itself only through the senses it is to these that it turns whenever it has to test its own self-knowledge.”

Fernando Pessoa

Simplified Meaning:

Life is like a test or adventure that we didn’t choose to start. We experience it through our senses because that's how we understand ourselves and the world around us.
