Fernando Pessoa
Our individuality is the consciousness of a memory of sensations,
Our individuality is the consciousness of a memory of sensations, a recognizing and remembering as ours of a past life.
Individuality is not in consciousness because then a blow in the lower frontal region would be unable to obliterate personality. Our consciousness remains the same, that of which we are conscious changes.
