More quotes by Jose Saramago
Chaos is order yet undeciphered.
Jose Saramago
As so often happens, the thing left undone tires you most of all, you only feel rested when it has been accomplished.
Jose Saramago
The only miracle we can perform is to go on living, said the woman, to preserve the fragility of life from day to day, as if it were blind and did not know where to go, and perhaps it is like that, perhaps it really does not know, it placed itself in our hands, after giving us intelligence.
Jose Saramago

Jose Saramago
...we confidently say that it's not worth trying to reach any conclusions merely because we decide to stop halfway along the path that would lead us straight to them.
Jose Saramago
It takes little or nothing to undo reputations, the merest trifle makes and remakes them, it is simply a question of finding the best means of engaging the confidence or interest of those who are to become one's unsuspecting echoes or accomplices.
Jose Saramago
The attitude of insolent haughtiness is characteristic of the relationships Americans form with what is alien to them, with others.
Jose Saramago
Words were not given to man in order to conceal his thoughts.
Jose Saramago
Dignity has no price ... when someone starts making small concessions, in the end life loses all meaning.
Jose Saramago
A woman is essentially a vessel made to be filled.
Jose Saramago
There is nothing that is truly free nor democratic enough. Make no mistake, the internet did not come to save the world.
Jose Saramago
Chaos is merely order waiting to be deciphered
Jose Saramago
Though I had come into the world on 16 November 1922, my official documents show that I was born two days later, on the 18th. It was thanks to this petty fraud that my family escaped from paying the fine for not having registered my birth at the proper legal time.
Jose Saramago
I am a person with leftist convictions, and always have been.
Jose Saramago
