About Us
"Life is not what one lived, but what one remembers, and how one remembers it to tell it."
Gabriel García Márquez
Pensador, previously known as Pensador.info or Pensador.uol.com.br, belongs to the company 7Graus, which produces content for Latin America and Europe, with a head office in Portugal.
With a long history of growth and continuous improvements, the site was born in 2005 from a list of phrases and quotes that Adriano Frazão, one of the company's founders, enjoyed collecting. He realized that other people shared his interest in him and decided to share his collection for free with the rest of the world.
Initially, he was the one who built the entire structure of the site. Today, Pensador is one of the biggest products of 7Graus, helping over 1 million users daily. We have a team of experts and enthusiasts who produce, organize, and review the content to help us achieve this.
In 2023, we decided to take our mission further and expand the reach of Pensador. Thus, Pensador.com/es was born, dedicated to the Spanish-speaking audience, which quickly attracted new readers and literature lovers.
Driven by a passion for literature, culture, ideas, and great thinkers, we strive daily to deliver relevant information that adds value to our audience.
Our Mission
