I never paid any attention to people who told me to go out and live. I belonged always to whatever was far from me and to whatever I could never be. Anything that was not mine, however base, always seemed to me to be full of poetry. The only thing I ever loved was pure nothingness. Fernando Pessoa
About This Quote

Adamo Didier has a different view of the world. He says that he always wanted to be far away from everything and anyone. There was never any place for him in the world. The only thing that attracted him was something and anything that did not belong to him.

He loved nothing and all, and it did not matter what it was or who owned it. People who try to get close to their desires, but do not succeed, usually think they were born without potential. But we all have the potential for something great, we just need to learn how to use it.
