More quotes by Jose Saramago
The world had already changed before September 11. The world has been going through a process of change over the last 20 or 30 years. A civilization ends, another one begins.
Jose Saramago
Blind people do not need a name, I am my voice, nothing else matters.
Jose Saramago
I don't think it is worth explaining how a character's nose or chin looks. It is my feeling that readers will prefer to construct, little by little, their own character—the author will do well to entrust the reader with this part of the work.
Jose Saramago
This is the effect of panic, a natural effect, you could say that animal nature is like this, plant life would behave in exactly the same way, too, if it did not have all those roots to hold it in the ground, and how nice it would be to see the trees of the forest fleeing the flames.

Jose Saramago
Inside us there is something that has no name, that something is what we are.
Jose Saramago
The best way to killing a rose is to force it open when it is still only the promise of a bud.
Jose Saramago
Sleep is a skilled magician, it changes the proportions of things, the distances between them, it separates people and they're lying next to each other, brings them together and they can barely see one another.
Jose Saramago
There is nothing healthier for a man than to walk on his own two legs.
Jose Saramago
We never consider that the things dogs know about us are things of which we have not the faintest notion.
Jose Saramago
The only time we can talk about death is while we're alive, not afterwards.
Jose Saramago
If I could repeat my childhood, I would repeat it exactly as it was, with the poverty, the cold, little food, with the flies and pigs, all that.
Jose Saramago
The history of mankind is the history of our misunderstandings with god, for he doesn't understand us, and we don't understand him.
Jose Saramago
Age carries with it a double load of guilt.
Jose Saramago
We live in a very peculiar world. Democracy isn't discussed, as if it was taken for granted, as if democracy had taken God's place, who is also not discussed.
Jose Saramago
Earthenware is like people, it needs to be well treated.
Jose Saramago
When all is said and done, what is clear is that all lives end before their time.
Jose Saramago
