—Life is whatever we conceive it to be. For the farmer who considers his field to be everything, the field is an empire. For a Caesar whose empire is never enough, the empire is a field. All that we truly possess are our own sensations; it is in them, rather than in what they sense, that we must base our life’s reality.

 

–Fernando Pessoa. The Book of Disquiet.

   I know of the writer, of course, but am not really familiar with his work. I like this quote of his. 🙂
