Publicar-se - socialização de si próprio. Que ignóbil necessidade!<br />

Mas ainda assim que afastada de um ato - o editor ganha,<br />

o tipógrafo produz. O mérito da incoerência ao menos.<br />

Uma das preocupações maiores do homem, atingida a<br />

idade lúcida, é talhar-se, agente e pensante, à imagem e<br />

semelhança do seu ideal. Posto que nenhum ideal encarna<br />

tanto como a inércia toda a lógica da nossa aristocracia de<br />

alma ante as ruidosidades e exteriores modernas, o Inerte,<br />

o Inativo deve ser o nosso ideal. Fútil? Talvez. Mas isso só<br />

preocupará como um mal aqueles para quem a futilidade é<br />

um atrativo.<br />

To publish - the socialization of ones's self. A vile necessity!<br />

But still not a real act, since it's the publisher who makes<br />

money, the printer who produces. It at least has the merit of<br />

being incoherent. When a man reachs the age of lucidity,<br />

one of his main concerns is to actively and thoughtfully shape<br />

himself into the image and likeness of his ideal. Since inertia<br />

is the ideal that best embodies the logic of our soul´s aristocratic<br />

attitude vis-à-vis the bustle and clamour of the modern<br />

world, our ideal should be inert, the inative. Futile? Perhaps.<br />

But this will only trouble those who feel attracted to futility.<br />

(from the Book of Disquiet - Aesthetics of Discouragement<br />

- Fernando Pessoa)
