Fernando Pessoa

Pure Being cannot be conceived...

Pure Being cannot be conceived as in time because what is in time is not to‑day the same as it was yesterday, nor will be to‑morrow the same as it is today.

But cannot what is immutable be conceived as immutable in time?

Being has no attributes; it is in itself essence and attributes, substance and accidents, unity and plurality. (Or rather by being both is neither.)

1906
