There's no greater tragedy than an equal intensity, in the same soul or the same man, of the intellectual sentiment and the moral sentiment. For a man to be utterly and absolutely moral, he has to be a bit stupid. For a man to be absolutely intellectual, he has to be a bit immoral. ✨ Fernando Pessoa, Richard Zenith (2002). The Selected Prose of Fernando Pessoa, p.302, Grove Press
