Jose Saramago
In a king, modesty would be a sign of weakness.

For me, writing is a job. I do not separate the work from the act of writing like two things that have nothing to do with each other. I arrange words one after another, or one in front of another, to tell a story, to say something that I consider important or useful, or at least important or useful to me. It is nothing more than this.

Jose Saramago
The wisest man I ever knew in my whole life could not read or write.
Jose Saramago
Liking is probably the best form of ownership, and ownership the worst form of liking.
Jose Saramago
just like everything else in life, let time take its course and it will find a solution.
Jose Saramago
Whether we like it or not, the one justification for the existence of all religions is death, they need death as much as we need bread to eat.
Jose Saramago
Death is the inventor of God.
Jose Saramago
A woman is essentially a vessel made to be filled.
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
