More quotes by Jose Saramago
That it's possible not to see a lie even when it's in front of us.
Jose Saramago
En ningún momento de la historia, en ningún lugar del planeta, las religiones han servido para que los seres humanos se acerquen unos a los otros. Por el contrario, sólo han servido para separar, para quemar, para torturar. No creo en dios, no lo necesito y además soy buena persona.
Jose Saramago
The worst pain ... isn't the pain you feel at the time, it's the pain you feel later on when there's nothing you can do about it, They say that time heals all wounds, But we never live long enough to test that theory.
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
Words were not given to man in order to conceal his thoughts.
Jose Saramago
Every second that passes is like a door that opens to allow in what has not yet happened, what we call the future, but, to challenge the contradictory nature of what we have just said, perhaps it would be more accurate to say that the future is just an immense void, that the future is just the time on which the eternal present feeds.
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
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
No, there are three people in a marriage, there's the woman, there's the man, and there's what I call the third person, the most important, the person who is composed of the man and woman together.
Jose Saramago
A tree weeps when cut down, a dog howls when beaten, but a man matures when offended.
Jose Saramago
Reading is probably another way of being in a place.
Jose Saramago
Blessed be the night, which conceals and protects things fair and foul with the same indifferent mantle.
Jose Saramago
The world is governed by institutions that are not democratic - the World Bank, the IMF, the WTO.
Jose Saramago
The attitude of insolent haughtiness is characteristic of the relationships Americans form with what is alien to them, with others.
Jose Saramago
Will we ever learn that certain things can be understood only if we take the trouble to trace them to their origins.
Jose Saramago
Men are all the same, they think that because they came out of the belly of a woman they know all there is to know about women.
Jose Saramago
In a king, modesty would be a sign of weakness.
Jose Saramago
The virtue of maps, they show what can be done with limited space, they foresee that everything can happen therein.
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
The beginning is never the clear, precise end of a thread, the beginning is a long, painfully slow process that requires time and patience in order to find out in which direction it is heading, a process that feels its way along the path ahead like a blind man the beginning is just the beginning, what came before is nigh on worthless.
Jose Saramago
